 Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2004 8:21 pm Post subject: reiser4 in 2.6.7 |
 |
|
I know there are patches out there, but I've only found the patches for 2.6.5-rc1.
I tried fidling with a few settings, copying the reiser4 dir, making some changes to the Makefile, etc, but I get a weird error
| Code: |
CC fs/reiser4/debug.o
In file included from fs/reiser4/debug.c:8:
fs/reiser4/context.h: In function `get_context':
fs/reiser4/context.h:176: error: structure has no member named `fs_context'
make[2]: *** [fs/reiser4/debug.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [fs/reiser4] Error 2
|
So I must have done something wrong somewhere... I had the reiser4 module loaded and working on my previous kernel (2.6.5-r2), but I can't get it to work on this new kernel (2.6.7)
Everything else is running great, I just need the kernel patch, so I can install the reiser4 module.
Is there any trick that I need to use, or have I missed something somewhere?
thanks for all the help!!!!

| Some of the filesystem code changed quite a lot between 2.6.5 and 2.6.6, so that it broke reiser4. You could try the snapshots from here; I think that's what love-sources have been using recently. |

Is that patch for reiser4 applicable to current mm-sources off of portage?
I've been holding off going from 2.6.5 since reiser4 has been working so well here, but if this new mm with an mm-r4 patch works, then I may have to go that way. |

reiser4-2004.06.16-19.36-linux-2.6.7-rc3-mm1.diff.gz? It's for 2.6.7-rc3-mm1. It'll probably work fine against the latest -mm, but you might have to fix some rejects.

Try 2.6.7-rc3-love1. It's what I'm using at the moment, and is a pretty nice kernel. 2.6.6-love4 was good too, but that seems to have disappeared. |

Playing it a bit safe for a change, was weary of going love on account of second had stories that r4 was not doing to well there.
How has your experience been. Reier4 error free? So far for me it's been fast and tight. Love has your stamp of approval for r4, that is 2.6.7 love? |

| I can vouch for 2.6.7-rc3-love1 being completely stable with reiser4 on my machine. Unless you're using some weird hardware, you shouldn't have any problems with it. 2.6.7-rc3-love2 is out too, but I haven't tried that one yet. I'm thinking I'll wait for 2.6.7-love1 before upgrading. |

I'm gonna do that too... I can't seem to get this reiserfs patch into the kernel. It shows up when I do make menuconfig, but when I do make, I got all kinds of reiser4 errors... :/
| Code: |
In file included from include/linux/unistd.h:9,
from init/main.c:44:
include/asm/unistd.h: In function `reiser4':
include/asm/unistd.h:437: error: `__NR_reiser4' undeclared (first use in this function)
include/asm/unistd.h:437: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
include/asm/unistd.h:437: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
|
must be me doing something wrong again, but I'm dead tired atm, and I must have typed something wrong... Now before I break my entire kernel, I'm gonna get some sleep
thanks again for all the help guys!!!! |
