Hello All,

This snapshot contains what was included into 2004.08.03-internal.testing 
snapshot:

> updated reiser4progs-0.5.7 and the grub patch.
> 
> It includes several bug fixes against the previous snapshot, and has a disk 
> format change -- the layout of blocks that contain backuped fs metadata 
> are changed. 
> 
> No kernel patch is needed for the disk format change, however fsck may 
> report about some corruptions on an existent fs if a block was allocated 
> for some data and has become a backup one. Fsck.reiser4 --build-fs is 
> able to fix it of course, although the data in these blocks are lost then.

and it has a converter from the previous format to the new one -- if you 
already created a reiser4 fs with the mkfs from some previous version 
of reiser4progs, first of all run 
    $ debugfs.reiser4 -C device

Thanks,
Vitaly Fertman

it also has:

- a converter from the previous format to the new one -- if you already created 
a reiser4 fs with the mkfs from some previous version of reiser4progs, first of 
all run
    $ debugfs.reiser4 -C device

- reiser4 patch for the grub-0.95

On grub compile:

In file included from /usr/include/aal/libaal.h:17,
                from /usr/include/reiser4/libreiser4.h:13,
                from fsys_reiser4.c:27:
/usr/include/aal/types.h:62: error: conflicting types for `va_list'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/include/stdarg.h:105: error:
previous declaration of `va_list'

When I try debugfs.reiser4:

 # debugfs.reiser4 -C /dev/hda1 -f
debugfs.reiser4 1.0.0

Obviously reiser4 likes segfaults.

ok, it makes it compile, but it does not work for me:

grub> kernel (hd0,1)/
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition

Perhabs this is related to not converting my reiser4 partition to the
new format due to the segfault.

hm, this segfault seems to happen on the initialization stage, before 
any convertion is started. looks more like some problem with building
the package itself. 
Do you have the core file? Would you send me the trace?
