reiser4 todo list

[Ryan Hope]

Is there a todo list, roadmap or bugtracker for what needs to get done
on reiser4?

Well there's some answers to your questions in the archives:

"You have a TODO list for inclusion if you're interested at
http://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-devel&m=120173123713322&w=2
Also some review/comments of code would be nice. PPC64 testing too.
Gentoo has a vibrant reiser4 users community, you can try to solve
theirs reiser4 problems in bugzilla and on forums.
Benchmarking of various reiser4 versions from old kernels till current
should be usefull."

"Ok, let's start with #14
Since google dropped the cache, pull it as the first item of this list:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/3/38 (about set_page_dirty_internal).

Also there is a small, but nasty leak of free disk space when process
runs in
no-space-left-on-device mode. It can be reproduced by the following way:

1) format a small partition by mkfs.reiser4 with no options;
2) mount it and look at "df" output;
3) run stress.sh -n 20; let it to work some time with complaints about
no space left on device;
4) terminate stress benchmark and remove everything on the partition;
5) sync and look at "df" output: it can show more used space, then it
was reported at (2).

It would be great to fix this leak.
There is a hint: this leak is related to tail conversion (if you format
a partition with "extents only" policy, then it doesn't take place)."

Hope this helps

The stuff above is out of date
