I downloaded and compiled the latest reiserfsprogs, I also updated my rpm. How do I know what version I am runnning then? rpm -q shows reiserfs-3.x.0k_pre10-8, but in /usr/local/sbin I have the latest 3.6.4 stuff. How can I be sure my system is updated correctly? Should I remove the rpm? thx -kg Oleg Drokin wrote: > Hello! > > On Mon, Nov 18, 2002 at 11:46:19PM -0800, kenny gorman wrote: > > >>I poked around suse's site, and found the 'certified kernel' with: >>2.4.16-64gb smp > > > This one is ok. > > >>reiserfs-3.x.0k_pre10-8 > > > This one is not. > > >>See any reason why this combination is not a good idea? > > > reiserfs-3.x.0k_pre10 sounds like something very old. > > >>How do the version numbers work?
