You can try it in the latest two mm-sources (I don't know how up to date portage is, but it is included in the mm patchset - see kernel.org is you want a direct download).

| I'm not sure whether to be impressed or worried; it seems like a pretty fast release. Either way, time to grab some non-vanilla sources and convert my "testbed" partition to Reiser4. |

Or the latest ck-sources |
The Reiser4 patch is in the 2.6.8.1 mm-3 kernel (or it was added to portage's mm-sources-2.6.8.1-rc3, pick your annotation).
Still, I'll wait a little for the dust to settle down a bit. I wont go live with this just yet. Apart of eventual bugs, looking at the benchmarks, Reiser4 seem to be much more of a cpu hog, and my Celeron 600 is already crumbling under the bloats of the 2.6 kernel.
Also, have you notived that file deletions seems to take between 5 to 10 times longer to do with reiser4 compared to v3? That means that if you have lots of temporary files (like caches), it may slow down things (this is highly speculative on my part)

Cool! Be sure to post your results to the AMD64 forum; there's no point in all of us breaking our systems.
(If it was in gentoo-dev-sources I'd try it myself; however, I'd rather get bootsplash/fbsplash working again at the moment.) |

| I've had everything but /boot on R4 for a couple of months now-- the only time I had problems was about a month ago, but that did trigger a reinstall.Fortunately though, my /home has been fine. |

According to genlop I've had reiser4 since May 31, and that's on /home, /usr, and /. I had reiser4 for about a month before that also, but I accidently deleted /lib  and so had to reinstall. Anyway, the only reiser4 bugs I've ever had were the glibc one and the gstreamer bug. Both have long since been fixed. My backup partition is still reiserfs, but that will probably change to reiser4 sometime it the next several months. It's stable enough for me. |

I've transferred my /, /usr/, and /home partitions over to reiser4 running ~amd64. Everything transferred over fine with that, and runs stable, even ran a bunch of test copies, but for some reason my system hardlocks when I try to copy my games folder to a reiser4 partition. I've fsck.reiser4'd the partitions, just to be sure they're not corrupted after so many hardlockups while trying to get my games folder copied, and they all checked out consistent at least. I've got all this stuff backed up on other partitions, so I can run the risk of reiser4 on these partitions. This totally hardlocks my system, so it makes it kinda hard to check for errors.
I've tried the nitro-sources, ck-sources, and iogl-sources, and all have this problem. It always craps out when transferring over the ut2004/System folder. I tried reinstalling it, and got a segfault (can't remember exactly which app segfaulted, both with emerge and the installer on the CDs). I couldn't get the nvidia drivers to build against the latest mm kernel so haven't tried that. I also couldn't get the patch to apply cleanly on the 2.6.8.1 vanilla kernel.
It also seems a bit redundant to re-post this n the amd64 boards.
