Reiser4 for Linux-4.14, Reiser4progs-1.2.0, Libaal-1.0.7, Format 4.0.2

[Edward Shishkin]

Hi all,

ZSTD compression support in Reiser4 is brought for you by BratSinot.
We recommend it as a replacement of gzip1. To enjoy ZSTD compression,
please build and install kernel stuff for linux-4.14, reiser4progs-1.2.0,
and specify mkfs option "-o compress=zstd1".

In accordance with Reiser4 development model we announce a new
software framework release 4.0.2 of Reiser4 kernel module and
Reiser4progs. So, before the next mount session please don't forget
to check your old reiser4 partitions by new fsck to update things
(not urgently).

The latest stuff can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/reiser4/files
https://github.com/edward6/

Thanks,
Edward.

Hi Edward,

I have now uploaded the new versions of reiser4progs and libaal to
Debian. But reiser4progs fail to build now on every architecture except
amd64 and i386
See: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=reiser4progs
Previous 1.1.0 version worked fine.

Regards,
Felix

Hi Felix,

Thank you for the report, I'll try to find out, what is wrong.

Niltze, Ed-


I've built libaal-1.0.7 and Reiser4progs-1.2.0 Debian packages for AMD64 successfully and currently testing in a virtual machine.

I've applied reiser4-for-4.14.0 patch to upstream kernel 4.14.2; Debian packaging for 4.14.2-xyz required GCC-7 for kernel build 

 -- which I installed including relevant dependencies. Yet I have experienced (twice) the appended tail show stopper error:

Hi Edward,

I got now a hint on the Debian bugtracker
The problem seems to be the variable used in the configure.ac check for
falign-loops
This patch seems to fix it:

--- a/configure.ac
+++ b/configure.ac
@@ -408,7 +408,7 @@
 fi
  
 # Force no alignment to save space.
-if test "x$falign_loop_flag" = xyes; then

Hi Felix,

Thank you for the hint!
It seems that the following patch is incomplete (missing rename of 
align_loop_flag):
https://github.com/edward6/reiser4progs/commit/2b74e05bdde4f84a224bc235814d1fc51793a2c8
I'll prepare a new release basing on your fixup.

Edward.

[Edward Shishkin]

Hello everyone.

Please, find version 1.2.1 of reiser4progs with the fixup:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/reiser4/files/reiser4-utils/reiser4progs

TBH, I am not sure that Reiser4 works for architectures different from
amd64 and i386. However, correct builds is a good start to fix things :)

Thanks,
Edward.

Updated patch works but had a rough time during the build procedure because zstd is used by btrfs as well:
...
some modules are in more than one package

< https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DPuO9nKU8AEMTgx.jpg:large >

Accordingly, in order for the build to proceed past the kernel-wedge show stopper, I had to

touch debian/installer/amd64/ignore-dups
< https://github.com/pexip/os-kernel-wedge >
i.e.,
--------------------------------
% kernel-wedge help find-dups
find-dups kernel-name

Find duplicate modules. Pass the kernel name.

Return 1 if any duplicates are found, unless $KW_CHECK_NONFATAL is
non-empty or the configuration file 'ignore-dups' exists.
--------------------------------------

And the build procedure completed successfully at long last.

This is something curious. Squashfs also uses zstd, as far as I know..

Well, ignore-dups was 'quick hack' -- and it took me several build attempts to figure out
at *which* package directory root it had to be touch'ed -- until I forced
/usr/share/kernel-wedge/commands/find-dups
to spit it out in the build log via its $configdir variable.

Notwithstanding, except for Ben, we don't get much constructive feedback from Debian but I assume
 Squashfs and btrfs 'harmonious' zstd coexistence has to do with:
"When you have duplicates, you need to find (or make) a package that both packages depend on, and move
the duplicate modules to it."
< https://github.com/pexip/os-kernel-wedge >

As I have time, I will attempt to figure out which package Squashfs and btrfs depend on so as to
potentianlly implement a patch to include reiser4 (SFRN) 4.0.2.

Actually we are ahead of Debian, Ed, as they are still using lzo and zlib for their filesystems compress/decompress, even
in their Unstable (Sid) distribution kernel packaging. So still using ignore-dups as there seems no adverse effect:

lsmod | grep -i reiser4
reiser4               454656  1
zstd_compress         167936  1 reiser4
zstd_decompress        86016  1 reiser4

As of this morning I am using the kernel.org upstream kernel 4.14.3-1, which I properly built this time with stretch GCC-6.x
(unlike my very first 4.14.2-1 effort --which I built with GCC-7). I have also built Felix's package of reiser4progs 1.2 (for consistency) stretch-backports.

After copying data in my development laptop to another storage medium, I reformated ~ 1.1TB partition with ZSTD and subsequenly migrated back my original data. I am impressed with initial performance of ZSTD over previous transparent-compression scheme. Still testing though...

I have uploaded relevant stretch-backports kernel/utilities build-generated reiser4 component software to SourceForge
