similar to: Upgrading fom Fedora Core 1 to Centos - Reiserfs?

RedHat has stripped out support for ReiserFS in their enterprise Linux products. It appears the unsupported CentOS kernel supports ReiserFS. Doesn't anaconda and the kickstart boot kernel also need to be enhanced to support ReiserFS as well? thanks for any help.

Hello, how can install my CentOS 4.3 under Reiserfs from install? (clean install) I have to download the kernel from centosplus and integrate to my dvd and mofidy some things on anaconda or something? I hace already googled about this but some answers are too crazy than I'm get scared! I was thinking something like this: Format my S-ATA with other distro who support Resiserfs and when

Hi Folks, I'm using CentOS 4.3 on my desktop. All works well - until today. On my machine are also other 'nixe like Kubuntu with reiserfs - filesystem. Before update no problems with this partitions. But after the update from today(kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL) I get a message "no support for reiserfs is in the current kernel" and mounting these partitons are impossible. Why ???

Hi we had one of our mail servers , going on kernel panic mode ( not syncing fatal exception) ... cause /var/queue/postfix was on reiserfs part .. it has not been giving us any isssue quite some time , but yesterday and today it went on Kernel panic mode , when we hashed out the reiserfs part it booted properly .. we formated the part^ on ext3 later and things working fine now . Could any one

I am trying to compile 2.2.20 with both ext3 and reiserfs (to easily migrate from reiserfs to ext3 :-) All patches merge nicly, but compile fails because "buffer_journaled" is defined by both reiserfs and ext3. I looked at the "2.2.14 ext3 + reiserfs incompatibility"-thread on the kernel list and figured out that renaming "buffer_journaled" in fs/buffer.c and

hi smbusers, would like to ask some questions about posix acls and reiserfs.help and info is much appreciated.(to make it clear i am running mandriva 2007 free edition with samba 3.0.23d installed.) 1. is acl supported now on reiserfs filesystems by default? 2. do i have to recompile the kernel and apply the acl patch? (i currently have the 2.6.17 kernel) 3.which is best for samba?xfs?ext3? or

Dear Listmembers, I try to work with samba (newest rpm for SuSE, 3.0.1.pre2, but that does not matter, the effect was there in 2.2.7 and 2.2.8a too) on an sufficient armed system (the system does not matter either, I have tried it on different machines) using ReiserFS (version 3.6.4-12). When accessing one share from one machine (i.e. copying two or more files at a time to or from the share)

Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, There is a bug xen-3-3.2.1/tools/libfsimage/reiserfs/fsys_reiserfs.c, it is using "unsigned long" which is 64 bits on amd64 arch and 32 bits on i386 arch. This makes pygrub can't work on reiserfs on amd64 arch. You can easily reproduce it. A patch is included for fixing this problem. diff

Hi, I'm upgrading my mail server tomorrow from CentOS 3 to CentOS 4.1. And I'd like to use ReiserFS this time around since everyone says it performs much better with smaller files (all the mail is in Maildir's instead of mbox'es). Right now I have a pretty basic filesystem layout: /boot, swap, and /. Am I making the correct assumption that I can't install CentOS with

I made some tests to see how ext3 reiserfs 3.6 and jfs survive disk errors. The test is simple: format a partition, copy the kernel source, unmount and and do ?dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd bs=512 count=100000 seek=30000? to simulate a disk surface damage and then run fsck. seek=30000 ? this must be the second half of journal in reiserfs and ext3, for jfs I don't know Result: jfs: ---- total

Hi All. What is the status of ReiserFS in CentOS at the moment? I have some servers which use it as a loadable kernel module. I am thinking about a filesystem for database systems and would like to know if ReiserFS will be maintained in CentOS/Linux kernel in the future? Best regards, Rafal.

Hello, I have a quick question. I am currious why reiserfs isn't compiled into the kernel? Although RHEL doesn't include the tools to manage reiserfs it includes the kernel drivers. Thanks, Bill

Hi - if I have a doubly patched kernel (2.4.5) (1) Apply gkernel/CVS ext3 patches (2) Apply Neil Brown/Reiserfs team knfsd and reiserfs patches Will ext3 be exportable by knfsd (i.e. inherit automagically the nfsd_operations thingies from ext2) or does it need further patching? -- Chan Shih-Ping (Richard) <cshihpin@dso.org.sg> DSO National Laboratories 20 Science Park Drive

Will I run into any problems mixing ReiserFS and ext3 on my slackware linux box? I'm using ReiserFS and LVM on the current version, thinking of mixing it up a bit with slackware 10, again with LVM.

Hi, I recompiled my kernel today, and when the btrfs-0.13 option is enabled (CONFIG_BTR_FS=y) I cannot boot on my reiserfs-3.6 partition any more. The kernel says that is cannot mount /dev/sdc6. I can boot the kernel when I recompile it with the same options and CONFIG_BTR_FS=n, and with the same boot options as well. Everything is amd64 on my system (kernel + programs).
