In light of Stafan's statements below, a position on what versions of reiserfsprogs are recommended for general usage would be appreciated. In my case, I took Vitaly's comments to mean that 3.x.1b-pre1 was strongly recommended as the version to be using, and I locally built RPMs for these and installed them on both of my Mandrake Linux systems. Both systems are in use with real data on them and are not test platforms, per se. Should back I off to one of the earlier reiserfsprogs releases? I am running kernel 2.4.17 (vanilla) on both systems.

If you think everybody should use this newer version then MAKE A RELEASE. Sorry for beeing loud but that's waht releases are for. Test every of your pre-releases with lots of images fo damaged file systems. Every possible fault caused by bugs or not should be part of at leat one of those test cases. This can be done automatically, that's what scripts are for. Greetings, Stefan
