This snapshot fixes two fatal bugs, and improves performance. Nikita
can still make it crash, sigh, and we have discovered some unnecessary
seeks when replicating Mike Benoit's settings for bonnie++ that are due
to block allocation bugs. Sigh. We are probably still at least 2 weeks
away from code that we can seriously ask people to use. The performance
is good enough to be well worth using despite the allocation bugs, but
we don't like to ask people to use code we know how to crash.

I downloaded the 2.6.0-test7 kernel and patched it for reiser4.
The kernel compiled successfully, with reiser4 enabled, except that some
symbols were not found. When I booted the new kernel, I found that reiser4
module doesnot load.
-bash-2.05b# modprobe reiser4
FATAL: Error inserting reiser4
(/lib/modules/2.6.0-test7/kernel/fs/reiser4/reiser4.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
-bash-2.05b# dmesg |tail
nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
reiser4: Unknown symbol max_sane_readahead
reiser4: Unknown symbol __remove_from_page_cache
reiser4: Unknown symbol radix_tree_preload
reiser4: Unknown symbol generic_sync_sb_inodes

reiser4: Unknown symbol balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited
reiser4: Unknown symbol inodes_stat
reiser4: Unknown symbol nr_free_pagecache_pages
reiser4: Unknown symbol destroy_inode
Following is the relevant section of my .config in kernel src-dir.
CONFIG_REISER4_FS=m
# CONFIG_REISER4_FS_SYSCALL is not set
# CONFIG_REISER4_LARGE_KEY is not set
# CONFIG_REISER4_CHECK is not set
CONFIG_REISER4_USE_EFLUSH=y
# CONFIG_REISER4_COPY_ON_CAPTURE is not set
# CONFIG_REISER4_BADBLOCKS is not set
What am I doing wrong? I believe that I followed the instructions
in http://namesys.com/snapshots/2003.10.17/READ.ME to the letter.

Nikita, please determine why reiser4 tells users they can configure it
as a module when they cannot.

No. But:
1. one has to use -o key=key_short option for mkfs.reiser4 to create
file system with small keys.
2. lately we mostly test/care about large keys performance and
stability.

So why would one want short keys in the first place then?

If you are going to access your files in the order that you wrote them
rather than in readdir order, use short keys. You are unlikely to want
to use short keys. large keys were a controversial design decision that
worked. Someday we will write something to allow readdir order to be
creation time order (at the cost of directories not being able to scale
to large sizes effectively), and then short keys will be useful again
for a more significant fraction of users.
maybe config help needs to say that.... nikita, please fix....

Reiser4 erroneously allows one to compile it as a module, while this is
not supported. Compile it as built-in. Thank you the report.
