Of course I did a full backup in advance so I can go back anytime I want to. And it's a fact that I have no single important files on my Linux partitions, so when everything would get lost it won't really matter.
I'm lovin the risk... |
Well if the loss of your data won't really matter then what risk is there? It's just something that you say to yourself |

well reiser4 is working great for me so far. I've only had this sysem up for 24 hours though.
Everything is reiser4 except my /boot.
Don't run out and use reiser4 on everything just because I said though.
oh yeah.. I do have the unmount issue, but it hasn't been a problem yet. |

Compile the kernel with Reiser4 support (has to be builtin at the moment, no module), then emerge reiser4progs and run "mkfs.reiser4 /dev/hdXY" to create the filesystem. When you're adding entries to /etc/fstab, use "reiser4" as the filesystem type.

After you copied in your old .config, did you run "make oldconfig" before "make all && make modules_install" ?
If you didn't that's likely to be your problem...

One thing about Reiser4:
Don't resize it.
I use lvm2, and I thought I needed some more space in my Reiser4 /usr/portage/ partition. So I resized it...
First emerge I did, file got corrupted.
Then it OOPSed.
Then emerge stopped working at all.
So I tried umounting it. umount hung.
So I remounted all driver ro and hard rebooted.
fsck.reiser4 wouldn't touch the partition until I resized it back.
Working great now, though. |

Had the same problem...and it seems aethyr was right...somehow the processor type didnt get selected from the old .config. Selected my processor and now seems to be working fine.
@aethyr:
How could you tell it was that problem?!

I'd like to make reiser4 the root partition on which ive got gentoo installed now  |

The asm-offsets.s erroring could only happen when the processor type isn't selected. With -mm4, the way to choose your processor type has changed, and the old .config file isn't compatible with the new way. It's a y/n thing as opposed to a list of processors and you choose one.

Hm wont compile for me (seems to be a scsi problem / SCSI CD-Rom problem , built in btw)
ps: Thinking about it...could it be a problem with the "CD packet writing" patch? as the error mentions "sr_packet" ...i ve disabled packet writing btw.
update: Enabling packet writing didnt help either

@petrjanda
If you're the kind of guy whose system partitions consist of /boot, swap, and /, you will have a tough time of it if you don't have another hard drive.
I just built a reiser4 base system in a chroot jail, copied it over to another partition, booted, then built my other system partitions and copied everything over "cp -Rvg"
working good.
It would be nice to just make a livecd with reiser4 though. I'll definitely do that after reiser4 goes stable. There's no telling how long it will take gentoo to support it heh. |

| For those thinking about using rieser4, I've been using it for /usr and /opt for almost two weeks with no trouble yet besides unmounting (no corruption, just an oops). |

Dumb Question of the day? Can I convert a partition to Reiserfs "on the fly" at risk or do I need to copy it to another partition and then copy back again?
If you want a laugh have a look at this article http://madpenguin.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=853 who says MS arent bullies

The kexec patch doesn't apply particularly nicely, and because of the way it does things, causes a hang on shutdown with nForce2 boards, even if kexec support isn't enabled in the kernel config. AFAIK it won't be back anytime soon, but steel300 will know better than me.
