Re: Still unable to use ReiserFS on PowerPC [Oops]

[Oliver Korpilla <okorpil@fh-landshut.de>]

Hello,

I guess my problem is similar, though I cannot quite verify that.

I'm having a problem exporting Reiser4 over NFS, and Vladimir thought it 
possible that the problem has been rooted in endianness. He sent me a patch that 
tries to expose the problem, and one of the cases got fired.

Maybe you could both talk - I mean Paavo and Vladimir - coordinate about the 
problem, since I'm not in a position to help you beyond having a workstation and 
embedded PowerPC targets, where I can test things.

With kind regards,
Oliver Korpilla
