I guess you mean reiserfs 3.6 and reiser4, or does it also apply to reiserfs 3.5? this also applies to 3.5. But for 3.5 number of directory links does not get reported correctly: 1 is reported for directories which have more than 64535 subdirectories.
Reiser4 release date and status
Hello, I noticed the"REISER4 RELEASED!" statement in http://www.namesys.com/download.htmland wonder when it did get released and what its status now. The web page seems to have last been updated August 5, 2004 and the warning still says"but until a program has seen a few million real users you should not use it for a mission critical server." Does this warning still hold ? Or has Reisfer4 now passed the million-user test ? Regards, Danny

Re: Reiser4 release date and status
Hello, I noticed the REISER4 RELEASED! statement in http://www.namesys.com/download.html and wonder when it did get released and what its status now. it is released but from my experience the latest changes that were necessary to prepare for inclusion into the vanilla kernel have destabilized the code somewhat. The web page seems to have last been updated August 5, 2004 and the warning still says but until a program has seen a few million real users you should not use it for a mission critical server. Does this warning still hold ? i'd say this warning still holds for mission-critical servers. it's ok for desktop use and for testing and development purposes. i may add that the warning is true for about any software that is released, for example you need not be the first one to adapt apache 2.2 on a mission-critical server either. kind regards, michael
