Snapshot against 2.6.1 released.

Snapshot against 2.6.1 released.

[Nikita Danilov]

Hello,

new snapshot against 2.6.1 kernel is at

http://namesys.com/snapshots/2004.01.19/

look into READ.ME file for details.

Nikita.

Re: Snapshot against 2.6.1 released [someone has a patch against -mm4 ?]

[Fuzzy]

Is there any chance that namesys will also provide a patch against the 
-mm tree ? Or even better: is there already a timeline for integration 
of reiser4 in -mm ?
I usually fix the - usually minor - rejects by hand at each new release 
but if testing could be made a bit easier, that would be really nice...  ;-)

Best regards,

Vince

Well, if I were them, I wouldn't.

Right now the -mm tree has some stuff that's just waiting for 2.7, or is in
initial testing/merging into stock 2.6.

You really should be testing against stock 2.6 with the reiser4 filesystem
so that you don't get hit by one of the (600 in 2.6.1-mm4) patches in the
-mm series.

That way, you can help spot bugs better, and reiser4 will be merged into -mm
sooner so you'll be happy. :)

I would agree with you but:

  1) the people who would run an experimental filesystem like reiser4 
are very likely to also run with the -mm kernel tree (as is my case at 
least...)
  2) from what I've read, reiser4 should be integrated in -mm before it 
can ever think about going in mainline... so why not play with it in -mm 
now ?

Because any bug reports you give then now you don't want them chasing bugs
in the -mm tree when they don't need to (wait until it's actually there
before that happens, and the work of getting a released version out will go
faster IMHO).

Please also apply last-minute-fix.diff from there: it fixes some bug
that slipped into snapshot.

last-minute-fix.diff should be applied from fs/reiser4:

$ cd /somewhere/fs/reiser4
$ patch -p1 < /somewhereelse/last-minute-fix.diff


Sorry for this.

Took a look at the patch, and noticed you guys are using assert().

I'm sure you're going to have to rename that before it will be integrated
upstream, so you might as well start before then...

ehm.. my existing reiser4 partition is not mountable now that i recompiled 
2.6.1 using latest snapshot. it did not contain anything so i formatted 
it, but nothing new happened.

Is this mkfs.reiser4 from the 2004.01.19 snapshot?

Re: Snapshot against 2.6.1 released.

[Paolo Correnti]

I have the same "Domenico's problem":
 - downloaded Kernel 2.6.1
 - applied SNAPSHOT 2004.01.19 FIXED
 
Trying to mount Reiser4 partition all I obtain is:

Wrong Master Super Block Magic
fs/reiser4/init_siper.c line 166

Going back to Kernel 2.6.0 + SNAPSHOT 2003.12.23
I've no problems mounting and dismounting my Reiser4
partition (only kernel panic during shutdown if I
try to use another Reiser4 partition, I think is a
dismount problem)

I've also no problem with Kernel 2.6.1 + SNAPSHOT
2003.12.23 using only one Reiser4 partition (with more
partitions see the note above).

All the best

PC

My apology for everyone for missing this bit in the READ.ME:

you have to re-create your file-systems with mkfs supplied with this
snapshot.

Is it really mandatory to re-create or will a "fsck.reiser4 --build-fs" 
be able to fix the filesystem to the new format ? (the data on my 
reiser4 partition is not important at all, but i'd like to avoid erase 
it if possible).

By the way, a small complaint: it would be nice to update the version 
numbers the next time there are changes, as e.g. for libaal-0.4.15, a 
diffstat with libaal-0.4.15 from the previous snapshot gives something like:

[...]
  src/bitops.c            |    2
  src/block.c             |    2
  src/debug.c             |    2
  src/device.c            |   12 -
  src/exception.c         |    2
  src/file.c              |    2
  src/gauge.c             |    2
  src/hash.c              |    2
  src/libaal.c            |    4
  src/list.c              |    2
  src/malloc.c            |    2
  src/print.c             |    2
  src/stream.c            |    2
  src/string.c            |   21 --
  src/ui.c                |    2

And the diff for reiser4progs-0.4.20 looks huge...  8-o

(replying to myself) It seems indeed really mandatory... I got a kernel 
oops while fsck-ing my old reiser4 partition with the new 
kernel+userspace snapshot (kernel is 2.6.2-rc1-mm1, reiser4 snapshot is 
2004.01.19.fixed). And now the (unfixed/corrupted) partition causes the 
following oops when I try to mount it:

reiser4[mount(177)]: get_ready_format40

Yes, mount was unable to handle an error. This is hopefully fixed and

Vince,

Keep a compressed image of that filesystem so that you can restore it and
remount to see if the oops is fixed in future snapshots.

I'm sorry, I've read later Nikita message (Re:
linux-2.6.0 + reiser4 oops) telling
that Reiser4 partition has to be rebuilded.

Now I've back my Reiser4 partition with no more mount
problem.

All the best
PC

P.S. Of course, pay attention to have always a "backup
partition" to be able to copy all your Reiser4 data
before testing new snapshots.

Right, and keep a copy of the data from *before* you copied the data on that
non-reiser4 partition.

If you have another empty filesystem around for scratch data, you can use
reiser4 for that, but not for data you care about.
