OpenAFS on Reiser4

OpenAFS on Reiser4

[Christopher Sawtell]

I'm trying to set up an OpenAFS node on a machine which happens to be
running Reiser4.
The OpenAFS doco has dire warnings about running it with its cache on
a ReiserFS partition.
Do these warnings apply to the Reiser4 filesystem as well?

Many thanks in advance.

That's a question better asked of the OpenAFS guys. AFAIK, it only
really works well on ext[23], but then again I don't use it.

IIRC, OpenAFS needs static inode numbers for files in its cache.  So if
Reiser4 uses static inode numebrs, then it should be fine.  Otherwise,
it won't be.
