Re: Reiser4 for Linux-2.6.36

[dimas <dimas000@ya.ru>]

that sounds good! but as i remember, you've mentioned some issues about 2.6.35
earlier, which were to be fixed. among them there was the troble with loop
devices. how about this? and there was a mail here where author complained about
problems after moving from 34 to 35. is 36 version more stable or it is better
to still rely on 34.7, which works nice for me?
