I had been reading that the very reason you want to use Reiser 4 is 
because that's where the ACLs were going to be. It is after all built on 
a database


No, it's not.  It's just easy to build a database on top of, without 
having to redesign the storage system.  As I said in my last message, go 
read the whitepaper.


How can there be a claim that Reiser4 is ready to be merged into the 
Kernel without ACL support?


Because things don't have to have every feature imaginable to be merged. 
 In fact, quite the opposite -- they have to be sane and stable.

OK - now I'm confused. Why not the standard?


Why aren't you using ext3?  Or Windows?  In your own words:
After all - it is standard. 



And - when is this going to be included?


Your guess is as good as mine.

ACLs finally restored some of this power although the implementation in 
Linux is crude at best.


That's why the "standard" way isn't happening.  Although I wish they'd 
left it in, and the standard xattrs interface, and created the "better" 
interface later.


I thought there is a glimmer of hope that some 
day Linux will catch up to where Novell was 15 years ago. It is so 
frustrating dealing with Linux culture and VI mentality trying to get 
people to think outside the box.


Speak for yourself.  After all, you wanted us to do the "standard".

Better yet, go read the whitepaper.  It's on the homepage at 
namesys.com, and it's very human-readable.

A minor nitpick: if you wish to delete a file, you need write permission
on the directory - the permission on the file doesn't really matter
(unless the sticky bit set is set on the directory, in which case you have
to own the file to delete it...).

Marc, I agree with you.  You might be interested in the Linux Trustees
project:

http://trustees.sourceforge.net/

Still not not the match of NetWare's flexibility, but it's a step in the
right direction.  If it patches correctly into a -mm kernel, I think it
should even work on top of reiser4.  Additionally, Novell has released
Open Enterprise Server, which supposedly supports creation of NSS volumes
on Linux (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9), supporting trustees!

bad blocks on disk. Which files are damaged?

2005-08-14 Thread Fionn Behrens

Hello all...

I have a harddisk here which developed bad blocks. It is quite large and
only a few blocks seem to be affected. I ran several scans wirh the
"badblocks" tool and got a map of defective blocks out of this. Now I'd
really like to find out which files on the Reiser3.6 FS on the defective
disk are probably damaged.
Is there a way or maybe even a HowTo to tell this without huge effort?
Maybe even some kind of script or tool?

best regards, 
Fionn

It's not in 2.6.13-rc6, and I doubt Linus is going to blop *that* big
a chunk of code in this late - it's already well into the "is this 3-liner
too drastic" phase.

What happens when the 2.6.14 tree opens is up to Linus and Andrew.

Database.  And you *could* ask, I suppose, why there are no
compression or other plugins available in a system based on plugins. 
Why there is no repacker when there is supposed to be an interface for
one and is one of the main reasons Reiser4 is so wonderful.  Why...

The reason? Time.  Money.  Resources.

And indeed, the bare bones of Resier4 (the only part the -mm team
wanted) are ready for vanilla inclusion.  The problem is we can't go
any further until this is done -- otherwise, a huge bug that crops up
could end up going undetected for a long time, and fixing it could end
up being a huge task that could take ages.  Reiser4 is undertested and
underfunded.  Vanilla could change that.

Note, this is all speculation.

ACLs not supported? That's bizzare! That's insane!

I had been reading that the very reason you want to use Reiser 4 is
because that's where the ACLs were going to be. It is after all built
on a database and the Reiser4 page is full of talk about ACLs. It is
claimed that Reiser4 is done and ready for the real world and no ACL
support. Reiser 3 has ACL support. EXT3 has ACL support. Every other
file system has ACL support.

How can there be a claim that Reiser4 is ready to be merged into the
Kernel without ACL support? Here I am gearing up to switch over and now
I can't. I just spent the last few week hassling Redhat to make Fedora
more Reiser friendly. This is moe than just a little disapointing. It's
just plain crazy.

So - what's the story with that? Why no ACLs in a system built on a
dadtbase?

Re: reiser4progs 1.0.5 configure script and libaal 1.0.5

2005-08-14 Thread Peter Klotz

Hello


The lastest reiser4progs (1.0.5) can't find libaal
in configure script.

More precisely it doesn't find libaal because of version problem
 

Maybe it is a permission problem caused by SELinux. I had similar 
troubles myself. Disabling SELinux in /etc/selinux/config helped.


Take a look at /var/log/messages if there are any SELinux related 
access-denied messages. On my system it seemed that ldconfig was not 
able to generate symbolic links for libaal and therefore reiser4progs 
were not able to find the required libaal version.


Here are two mailing list entries dealing with ldconfig/SELinux problems:

http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2004-December/011960.html
