Re: Debian cloud reiser4-patched kernel 3.19.8 [EOL] instance

[Jose R R <Jose.r.r@metztli-it.com>]

Niltze, all (again ;-)

I have made public a Google Compute Engine (GCE) archive with a Debian
8 Jessie AMD64 running a Reiser4-patched Linux kernel 3.19.8 EOL:
< http://storage.googleapis.com/ome-teotl-caxitl/metztli_it_jessie_reiser4_mixtli_gce_1.tar.gz
>

If you have a GCE account and you want to give the image a spin (I
welcome feedback ;-) , you can can create your image from that source
archive thus (assuming you have the SDK):

gcloud compute images create [metztli-it-jessie-reiser4-amd64-gce-1]
--source-uri  gs://ome-teotl-caxitl/metztli_it_jessie_reiser4_mixtli_gce_1.tar.gz

Note that you may provide an alternate [name] within the brackets
above for your image; my suggestion is only to have a descriptive name
for you to remember what is it. And please *do not* include the
brackets ;-) in the command.

Subsequently you can create your first instance from the image named
above as follows:

gcloud compute instances create [your-instance-name] --image
metztli-it-jessie-reiser4-amd64-gce-1 --machine-type [f1-micro ||
g1-small] --zone [*]

where you select either f1-micro (approximately 600MB RAM
OR g1-small

For additional machine types, type:

gcloud compute machine-types list
...
n1-standard-1  us-central1-f  1     3.75  <-(this is the default if no
machine-type is specified)
n1-standard-16 us-central1-f  16   60.00
n1-standard-2  us-central1-f  2     7.50
n1-standard-32 us-central1-f  32   120.00
n1-standard-4  us-central1-f  4    15.00
n1-standard-8  us-central1-f  8    30.00

but please do not include the brackets.

Additionally replace [*] with your preferred zone as listed by command:

gcloud compute zones list
NAME           REGION       STATUS NEXT_MAINTENANCE TURNDOWN_DATE
asia-east1-c       asia-east1     UP
asia-east1-b       asia-east1     UP
asia-east1-a       asia-east1     UP
europe-west1-d   europe-west1 UP
europe-west1-b   europe-west1 UP
europe-west1-c   europe-west1 UP
us-central1-f       us-central1     UP
us-central1-b      us-central1     UP
us-central1-c      us-central1     UP
us-central1-a      us-central1     UP

Subsequently login into your newly created GCE Debian 8 AMD64 Reiser4 root fs:

gcloud compute ssh  [your-instance-name] --zone [your selected zone]


performing an df -hT you will see that your /boot partition is ext2
and your / partition is reiser4 fs :)

Enjoy!


Best Professional Regards.
