greetings,
in one of my system boxes, i have scientific linux 5.2, fedora 8 and 10,
installed to ext3 fs, mandrake 2008 and '/home' installed to reiserfs.
i access reiserfs from fc8, f10 and md2k8, and i need to access reiserfs
from sl5.2.
i have check with yum for a reiserfs package, but find none thru repos.
is there a package available that i can install to allow sl5.2?
reformatting is not a practical option.
The major (only?) supporter of reiserfs in enterprise linux, SUSE, now
prefers ext3 (and presumably ext4 in the future), so I suggest you wean
yourself off reiserfs if/when you can. Hans was pushing/promoting
reiserfs4 and not interested in 3 any more, and now he's in the tender
care of the US govt I don't think anyone's betting the bank on either
version of reiserfs for the future.
