kernel 2.4.27 reiserfs quotas patch

kernel 2.4.27 reiserfs quotas patch

[Jeff Meyer]

Does anyone know where I could find or even if they exist the patches to use
reiserfs with quotas for the 2.4.27 kernel?  I currently am using reiserfs
with quotas on kernel 2.4.26 utilizing the patches for kernel 2.4.25.


Thanks,

Jeff

You can use Chris Masons patches from 2.4.25. These include quotas.
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mason/patches/data-logging/2.4.25/

These currently have a fsync() bug (the same holds true for 2.6.7+)
which does not lead to data loss.

Thanks,

I have tried using these patches and I cannot build my kernel with them.  I
get the following error when compile the kernel:

In file included from journal.c:42:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/module.h:22:34: linux/modversions.h: No
such file or directory
make[3]: *** [journal.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [_subdir_reiserfs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.27/fs'
make: *** [_dir_fs] Error 2

I am running on gentoo linux with the vanilla kernel 2.4.27

  That seems quite strange and probably not related to the patch - can
you try following?
backup .config
make mrproper
copy back .config
make oldconfig
make bzImage

Problem fixed!!! You need to enable loadable module support selected in the
kernel.  Sorry!!!

I'd rather say that it's a bug that these patches require kernel modules
enabled... you just need to remove a #include line and it compiles fine
without modules enabled.  (At least the time I came to it, but I think
it were these 2.4.25 patches.  I also think I mailed the maintainer,
probably Jeff, about it but I never got a reply IIRC, and I didn't care
about it any more because I rarely use kernels without modules.)

Regards,
Milan

On machines where I do not want kernel modules enabled I solved the build 
problem by modifying file "fs/reiserfs/journal.c". Just comment out the first 
line of code like this:

//#define EXPORT_SYMTAB

Works for me without problems... 

Christian: What is all about that fsync() bug? Is it serious? Are there any 
special conditions to be met to actually see the results of it?

Bostjan

Have a look at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=reiserfs&m=109250555704899&w=2

You may want to ask Chris Mason what the state of the patch update is.

Oh, this one... i thought i missed something although I was watching the list 
all the time... Chris will "cook up" patches when he finds some time to do it 
and I will not bother him as this is not really an issue for me...
