GRIN !!! I really would like to enjoy these, but you seem to be far away in future. Still no "official" patch seems to be out -- at least for me on here. (Yes, I'll wait and would not use bk.)
Have your previously pending patches been included into 2.4.21-pre6
(they are: 02-trivial1.diff
03-more-mount-checks.diff
01-journal-overflow-fix.diff
from ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/testing :
iget5_locked_for_2.4.21-pre5-datalogging.diff.gz
and posted to our ML @ "Wed, 12 Mar 2003 10:46:42 +0300" :
direct-io-fix-II.diff
) ?
Only patches that are visible at ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/2.4.20-pending
were included into 2.4 tree.
iget5_locked patch is in testing right now.
direct-io-fix-II.diff have triggered some old long known minor metadata
updating problems in case of unexpected crash and I am looking how to resolve
that and trying various stuff.
My question only results from beeing unable to get them all applied to 2.4.21-pre5 with data-logging without rejects and me feeling unsafe to adjust them manually.
Well, if you apply all of those patches from ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/2.4.20-pending on clean 2.4.20 (or whatever is needed for 2.4.21-pre5 only frpm ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/2.4.21-pre5.pending) and then apply data logging patches as if you have 2.4.21-pre6, and then iget5_locked stuff, it should work.
Thank you Oleg for the information and the hint.
When following your directions these patches apply fine and the kernel works pretty well, too.
Thanks again,
Manuel
