fscking a reiserfs 3.6 filesystem with reiser4progs 0.4.18 segfaults

[Domenico Andreoli]

hi all,

i tried to check a reiserfs 3.6 filesystem with fsck.reiser4 and it 
segfaulted. is reiser4progs expected to work correctly with older 
reiserfs filesystems?

i'm using a 2.6.0 kernel patched with reiser4 from 2003.11.12. libaal 
0.4.13 and reiser4progs 0.4.18.

let me know if more info are required.

thanks
domenico

there were too many bugs fixed in reiser4progs last time and we are 
preparing a new snapshot to be released on days.

reiser4progs are supposed to be used with the reiser4 filesystem, 
not reiserfs. For the reiserfs please obtain the reiserfsprogs from:
ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfsprogs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.11.tar.gz
