Hi,
So after an insane amount of time of slacking off I'm actually trying the
cryptcompress stuff now...
However, I face some problems setting it up, because I deviate from the
instructions :)
What I tried:
1) download
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/tmp/cryptcompress_patches/2.6.16/
reiser4progs-1.0.6.tar.gz
2) compile and run,
./mkfs.reiser4 -o create=ccreg40 /dev/sda1
in the source directory
Works fine, it seems (note that I used libaal 1.0.5).
3) get my 2.6.17-mm5 version without any extra patches to support it
(probably no use trying, but...)
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp
dmesg

4) okay, so I thought it was time to do it properly and tried to use
2.6.16 vanilla, plus
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4-for-2.6/2.6.16/
reiser4-for-2.6.16-5.patch.gz
plus
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/tmp/cryptcompress_patches/2.6.16/patches/*
Hmm... This is for internal usage only. I have removed it, sorry
(nothing really confidential, but this stuff changes disk format
including your old reiser4 partitions). Wait for official release.
Everyone who wants to test it, send us a private message.
Unfortunately, the patches from the last URL do not apply to that (most
were already applied, save a few hunks that actually did get applied fine
and the small remainder of rejects).
trying to mount the filesystem with that kind of monster kernel (yeah, I
actually finished compiling that kernel :)) causes:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp
reiser4[mount(1190)]: init_read_super
(fs/reiser4/init_super.c:602)[nikita-2608]:
WARNING: mmcblk0p1: wrong master super block magic
So, are there any more current 2.6.16 cryptcompress patches?
Should I do it differently? Is it ok to start from
"reiser4-for-2.6.16-2.patch" as README says?
Yes, follow the instructions precisely, and please,
read warnings in the README carefully. libaal-1.0.5 - ok.
Thanks,
Edward.
I figured rather start from
the latest reiser4 fixes so that my testing makes any sense...
(as for my choice of "2.6.16", it's the one with the newest mtime on
the directory ("ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4-for-2.6/";), and it was
easier to do :))
cheers,
Danny
