And note, I just found out the other day that there is a patch missing
from 3.5.34 :-

From: Anne Milicia [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [reiserfs-list] 2.2.19 reiserfs 3.5.32 oops and buffer-300: BAD when sync + 
umount race

did not make it into 3.5.34 it seems. I added it myself after I
realised it was missing after I kept getting buffer-300 errors even
though I had upgraded to 3.5.34 (and couldn't at first understand why
they were appearing)

Sincerely,

Adrian Phillips

[reiserfs-list] correct version of reiserfs for 2.2.17

2002-02-01 Thread Cassandra Sewell

I have taken over support for a machine running the 2.2.17 kernel with
reiserfs 3.5.32 .  We cannot upgrade to a later kernel at this time.  I
would like to know if this is the correct  latest version of reiserfs
that can be run with the 2.2.17 kernel.  If this is  not the correct
reiser, which version should we be running on our machines.  Also, is
there any type of change listing that shows what fixes, etc are in the
different reiserfs versions?

Thanks,

I don't understand why you cannot upgrade. 2.2.20 with 3.5.34 is a
better bet than 2.2.17 and 3.5.32 as far as my own experience is
concerned.

 Thanks,

There are 4 fixes for reiserfs-3.5.32 :
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.2/fixes-for-3.5.32/

To apply:
Put all 4 *.dif to linux/fs/reiserfs directory, and perform :

# patch -p0 file.c.dif
# patch -p0 inode.c.dif
# patch -p0 objectid.c.dif
# patch -p0 symlink.c.dif

It will convert your reiserfs-3.5.32 to reiserfs-3.5.33, but
without knfsd support.

There is also reiserfs-3.5.34 patch (without knfsd support)
against linux-2.2.16,
that could be used probably with linux-2.2.17 as well:

ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.2/testing/L-2.2.16-reiserfs-3.5.34-without-knfsd-support-patch.bz2

Although, it is not tested with linux-2.2.17.

Thanks,
Yura.

 concerned.

There is a much stronger reason to use 2.2.20, than it merely works
better. There were two security holes involving ptrace in 2.2.17. These
are fixed in 2.2.20. These allow a non-root user to gain root access.
