ReiserFS on Linux 2.6.7 kernel

ReiserFS on Linux 2.6.7 kernel

[Ashish Rathi]

Hi 

I am pretty new to ReiserFS and have a very basic
question to ask. 

I recently upgraded to the 2.6.7 kernel available on
kernel.org. On the ReiserFS download page, I see that
ReiserFS 4 is being still listed as "experimental" for
the Linux 2.6 kernel.
So what version of ReiserFS does the 2.6.7 kernel
include ? Is it 3.6.17 ? Where do I look in order to
find this info ?

I'll be glad if someone could help me out here.

Thanks
Ashish

Stock 2.6.7 includes reiserfs. Just turn its support on via make 
config/menuconfig/xconfig.

You can get userlang tools (mkreiserfs, reiserfsck) at 
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfsprogs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.17.tar.gz

Hi Ashish,
	There are two reiser filesystems, a new one that is still being debugged and 
an older one that is in wide use. The older one is the one that is in the 
kernel you reffered to, the new one is not. The new filesystem is called 
Reiser4. This is very new and is not yet in wide use. 

As far as I know the 3.6.17 you are referring to is the reiserfsprogs, eg the 
tools that manage the reiserfs filesystem. These should come with your 
distribution. Apart from that just compile reiserfs into you kernel and you 
should up and running.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. I still am not entirely
clear about the versioning and have a couple of
questions.

1. As you said, reiserfs is included in the 2.6.7
kernel. Does that mean that the reiserfs bundled with
this kernel has all the latest updates and patches ?
Is there any kind of version information maintained to
this effect ?  How do I know if I am in need of any
updates to the reiserfs I have in my kernel tree ?

2. I am aware that 3.6.17 is reiserfstools as you
mentioned. Is that the latest one available ?

Thanks in advance
Ashish

You do not need any updates to reiserfs if you are using 2.6.7
