This is the Reiser filesystem website. Under DOWNLOAD it says:
CAUTIONWARNING
1. Don't use linux kernel 2.4.16 or earlier for reiserfs operations, as many of those releases contain critical bugs, some of the most serious of which are not in reiserfs but affect reiserfs. 2.4.16, 2.4.9, and 2.4.3 are especially bad. The SuSE release of 2.4.16 is ok, it contains some needed patches. 2.4.19 is the latest release at the time of writing, and it is solid and reliable. 2. For linux kernel 2.5.6 or 2.5.7 you need an additional patch that will allow the use of reiserfs: 01-revert_broken_alviro_cleanup.diff
Suse, please release 2.4.19! =================
Carl, 2.4.19 kernel is available now on the SuSE site under Mantel. Works well, is stable and if you have an Athlon, get that kernel as it makes a big difference on those machines! Patrick -- --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206
