reiser4 snapshot

reiser4 snapshot

[Nikita Danilov]

Hello,

new reiser4 snapshot is available at 

http://thebsh.namesys.com/snapshots/2003.08.11/

**********************************************************************
                              WARNING!!! 
                      This code is experimental! 
    WE ARE NOT KIDDING! DO NOT PUT ANY VALUABLE DATA ON REISER4 YET!
**********************************************************************

Lots of changes in this snapshot compared to previous one that was
release over half of year ago.  Everything should be better and more
stable I hope.

Snapshot is released as a patch against linux-2.6.0-test3.

REISER4_NOOPT config option (Disable compiler optimizations for reiser4
code.)  is known to not compile on x86.

The reiser4-kernelonly.diff file represents only required kernel
modifications if you plan to use our reiser4 bk repository. It does not
contains any reiser4 code

The reiser4.diff is full patch with everything included.

With this snapshot reiser4 supports different on-disk format by default,
so you should recreate your reiser4 file systems.

Nikita.

This needs some explanation. What happens if I have two reiser4 fs on my
disk, one written with REISER4_LARGE_KEY, the other one without? Does it
prevent me from mounting both filesystems at the same time? If so, will
this change some time?


Thanks,

Right.

Not likely. Supporting both key assignment algorithms costs too much at
run time. Probably small keys will be just obsoleted.

Hey.

I thought I'd give it a try on 2.6.0-test3-mm1.

Even with 'make mrproper' before compiling, I get the following error
message:

Hm, this is strange.
__NR_reiser4 is clearly defined in include/asm-i386/unistd.h

Probably you had that part of the patch rejected? Can you please verify?

I have a problem: reiserfs4progs doesn't seem to pay attention to the
--prefix when it comes to locating libaal. I configured libaal with
--prefix=/scratch/riesling/reiser4-inst and installed it there, then tried
to configure reiserfs4progs with the same prefix, and it still fails to
locate libaal. When I force it a little by prepending the call to
./configure with suitable CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, it goes past locating libaal,
but chokes on locating <aal/aal.h>.

I'll sure get past that, but it's a little annoying, and might get in the
way of distributors (depending on the way they package libaal, ie separately
or merged with the main reiserfs4progs package).

--prefix is not the prefix libraries are looked at. It is the prefix of
where package libraries and includes will be installed.

You need to let dynamic linker know, that some interesting libraries lie
at some location.

Edit /etc/ld.so.conf and there line /scratch/riesling/reiser4-inst
Or set evn. variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH like the following:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/scratch/riesling/reiser4-inst:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This will be fixed. Thanks. temporary cure is to specify CFLAGS durring
make:

make CFLAGS="-I/scratch/riesling/reiser4-inst/include/aal"

libaal is planed to be used with another similar projects to as it
contains useful utilities like device abstraction, etc.  So, it is
better to have it as separated package. But reiser4progs building may be
automated.

The problem can't be eliminated just by fixing dynamic linker. 
Will be fixed soon. 

Thanks for report.

yes, of course. However, you saw that it's not the only problem.

can't be done, as there is no Makefile until configure completes -- and it
can't complete as it doesnt pay attention to things like
	CFLAGS="-I/.../include" ./configure 

I got past that, though.

Another little glitch is that the configure.in explicitly checks for 0.4.8
while the provided libaal is 0.4.9. No biggie, just requires modifying the
configure.in and re-running autoconf (you might want to add a check against
that condition in your pre-upload QA scripts).

Hello,

Everything is fixed and new snapshot is in
http://thebsh.namesys.com/snapshots/2003.08.11/.

See ./configure --help for new option --with-libaal.


Thanks for reports one more time.

Hi,

thank you for the snapshot.

I've tested the reiser4.diff patch, it apply cleanly on my system. 

1)
The option "CONFIG_REISER4_FS_SYSCALL" breaks the build on my system.

[...]

2)
Without this option the build finish, but it gave also many warnings about a 
include from include/asm/hardirq.h


3)
I'm also unable to build reiser4 as module:
[...]

Disable it. We should disable it by default, it seems.

Something about structure being XXXXX bytes? Ignore them.

Yes. Does it build as module with CONFIG_REISER4_FS_SYSCALL off?

No, it doesn't build with the following options:

# CONFIG_REISER4_FS_SYSCALL is not set
CONFIG_REISER4_LARGE_KEY=y

It seems one necessary directory was not included in the patch and that broke build
with CONFIG_REISER4_FS_SYSCALL.
Also we have some 64bit problems reports, so I am going to investigate those and may be we will release
new snapshot with 64 bit fixes and parser directory inplace.

That fixes it, thanks!

It can be debated whether --with-libaal=/foo/bar should imply
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/foo/bar/lib or not (it doesn't seem it
does right now), but at least it's now possible to build and install
libaal + reiser4progs in a user tree without touching /usr.

I guess, it is not the job for configure script, but rather for
user/administrator. At least I don't even one project that do so :)

fair enough

I successfully built 2.6.0-test3 with yesterday's patch. I don't know when
I'll be able to give it a spin, but at least here's some partial 
progress/success feedback, FWIW.

I guess it gets less surprising the more we get away from 'mm0'.

What areas are still not ready for production?
How risky it would be to put, say, 20000 e-mail users (cyrus imap and 
nothing else) on reiser4 partition?
Reiser4 works very very well on my desktop pc, so I'm eager to try it on 
something bigger.

Also, does lack of sendfile in the current snapshot mean that Apache 
will lose in performance when serving from Reiser4 partition?

Best Wishes,
Viktors

I wouldn't recommend it, frankly. Reiser4 should first pass through more
extensive testing (first internally, and then in something like -mm, or
-wli) before it will be ready for "production".

It uses it to send static content to client. Quote from Apache 2 docs:

"In situations where Apache 2.0 can ignore the contents of the file to 
be delivered -- for example, when serving static file content -- it 
normally uses the kernel sendfile support the file if the OS supports 
the |sendfile(2)| operation."

"On most platforms, using sendfile improves performance by eliminating 
separate read and send mechanics."

Viktors

Current reiser4 will be slower than hypothetical reiser4-with-sendfile,
but not necessary slower than, say, ext3.

REISER4 snapshot

Hello

Namesys has issued new reiser4 snapshot (http://thebsh.namesys.com/snapshots/2004.08.04).
It is against 2.6.8-rc2-mm2.
It is mostly bug fixes.
Look at http://thebsh.namesys.com/snapshots/2004.08.04/READ.ME for install instructions

So, is this is what will be sent to the main kernel as ready-to-go?

Well, great news :) With this snapshot, it doesn't crash anymore on mount.

It even survived a bonnie++ and a mongo run as well as umount.

Well done :)

By special decree of the U.N. all Friday 13th are assigned to special
13th month dedicated to this very purpose, didn't you know? So, it
actually should be 2004.13.02, because this is second Friday 13th in
this year. :-)
