Reiser4 on SuSE 9.1
Has anyone put Reiser4 on the latest SuSE 9.1 release? I'd like to use it there without having to patch a pristine kernel. Preferably, I'd like to be able to use their RPM build environment so I can continue to take updates from SuSE. I've placed a couple of requests into their support group, but have gotten nowhere with them. Anyone got a suggestion. I can patch kernels. I just haven't deciphered the build environment. I'm use to doing this in a chroot environment. Thanks, Mike

RE: Reiser4 on SuSE 9.1
Thanks for the quick response Chris. I can certainly understand your hesitancy. I use SuSE for a reason. However, I also like to live life on the edge. So, getting a head start is always desirable. This time, I'm just willing to toss out all of the other fixes you all have made to the kernel.

Preferably, I'd like to be able to use their RPM build environment so I can continue to take updates from SuSE. Probably this is not, what you need, but I test Reiser4 on SuSE 9.1 with kernel 2.6.5. This is NOT a SuSE kernel, but I use the config file form the official SuSE 2.6.4 kernel and it compiled without problems. Even cryptoloop with the old SuSE twofish works. Of course kernel update will not work any more... I tried to patch the SUSE kernel with reiser4 patches, but as I'm just a stupid user, I couldn't make it work. It would be great, if the SuSE kernel developers could make a patch for the SuSE 9.1 kernels. This would also be good for namesys, as with this help much more tester could be won for testing Reiser4. As I'm a user, I know, that many users have time to do such tests, and they don't bother about data anyway :-) Marcel -- dvzlettel -- Mit freundlichen Grssen, Marcel Hilzinger
