Questions. 1. I would like to set up a reiser4 file system and I need help on how to compile a kernel for it. Can you tell me the steps to compile and install a reiser4 enabled kernel please ?. I would use a vanilla kernel to patch and build. Here you will find a tutorial for that: http://linuxhelp.150m.com/installs/compile-kernel.htm
2. What command do I use to format a blank disk partition to reiser4 ? so I can use it. for a normal partition: mkfs.reiser4 /dev/yourpartition for a cryptcompress partition: mkfs.reiser4 -o create=ccreg40 /dev/yourpartition
3. How can I validate a reiser4 partition is ok ?.
fsck.reiser4 /dev/yourpartition (with the partition unmounted)?
I am using opensuse 11 rc1 (64 bit system) on a test pc with a additional hard disk with no partitions on it and would like to set up reiser4 on it.
I can get reiser4progs and reiser4progs-devel already compiled to a rpm from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lmich/openSUSE_11.0/x86_64/r... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lmich/openSUSE_11.0/x86_64/r...
and reply 2 got Is "/" supposed to be on reiser4? Note, that in this case SUSE10.3 requires initrd to contain reiser4 module.
