Re: CONFIG_REISERFS_RAW (http://www.namesys.com/config.html)

You don't want to use it...

But if you do:

http://swelltech.com/pengies/joe/squidng.html

This page has the last versions of both the Squid and ReiserFS that have 
this feature.  It hasn't been supported in over two years, and it wasn't 
a trivial set of patches even then...I doubt you'd have much hope of 
getting either working in recent versions of Squid or kernel without 
significant help from both projects (probably paid help--this is deep 
code, and a lot of work to integrate).  It was a pretty darned fast 
Squid, though.
