Just wanted to report that I've been able to compile the latest Reiser4
2.6 kernel patch into a 2.6.13.4 kernel (compiled for SMP) with no
errors or warnings, and have so far written over 1GB of data to the
filesystem.
This is on Slackware 10.2, dual Intel PII-400 processors, 1GB of RAM
(running 4GB himem support in the kernel), no premptive kernel, gcc
version 3.3.6.
I'm loading the reiser4 module manually, and have a 120GB Western
Digital drive as one reiser4 filesystem. I'm currently rsyncing a
Gentoo mirror to this hard drive as a test.
I have had the system crash on me three times while writing to the
filesystem, but it turned out to be a problem with ACPI, and the reiser4
filesystem had no errors after every crash (fsck run with --check
reported no errors).
Lookin' good!
