Re: Reiser4 + laptop -> ouch

[PFC <lists@boutiquenumerique.com>]

I have this kernel :

linux-2.6.11-cko1-swsusp2

I chose this because it has reiser4 included, and software suspend 2...  
turns out software suspend does not work on this laptop, so I don't use  
it...

How can I get the filesystem version ? I grepped the reiser4 kernel  
sources for "version" but nothiing relevant came out.

Thanks for your help.
