kernel building w/reiserFS
hey, i must have missed this on the list, can someone tell me what must be done to get a non-SuSE kernel to boot when you have a reiser partition on the system? thanks, -- Donald G.

Aside from getting the appropriate patch from ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/ or ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.2/ ? My advice would be to compile reiserfs directly into the kernel, and to do the same for all parts of the kernel needed to access the disk.

thanks! i assume the patch will add the config option for reiserfs? i currently don't see that option in the filesystem types...

a while back we had this discussion............and i just kept using the stock 2.2.18 kernel with SuSE 7.0, now i'd like to try 2.4.0 and i'm unable to locate a patch for the reiserfs version (3.5.23-6) that i used to make my partition when i installed SuSE 7.0.......... is this possible, or does anyone know of a patch? i hope that i don't need to wipe my hard drive, install newer version of reiser to use a newer kernel..... TIA, -don

<SNIP> okay to answer my own question, it looks like reiser filesystem is compatible with newer drivers, only need to update the utils, so is there a newer (3.6.25) rpm for SuSE 7.0 anywhere? -- proud Linux user since kernel 1.1.54 icq#42235604
