I can't find it in the archives, nor with google or on the Namesys website (namely download, getting started with v4, and the FAQ). I did find this mail from Hans about the issue and his request for a patch for apache: http://www.dragoninc.on.ca/mail-archives/reiserfs/2004-08/0583.html That thread doesn't contain a patch unfortunately. Can somebody please point me to a patch to disable the file as a directory feature? Hans, would this be something for a mount option? And shouldn't more info on this be on the website? Thanks in advance.
