Is the mandrake reiser-patched kernel in some way different than the plain vanilla kernel with patches applied? Because I can't access my mandrake reiser partitions with a patched stock-kernel, which is due to a different hash-function (can't seem to find the tea-hash Mandrake uses anywhere on

You will need to patch your kernel with the reiserFS patch against the correct kernel source. You can get it from their home page (or search on freshmeat). Also, you should consider a few other patches if you are compiling your own kernel. ide (if you're running udma66 or udma100), usb if you

What exactly are the reasons that you would not trust reiserfs for a production system? It's not a matter of trust on my part - I trust it. It depends on what sort of "production" your are looking at. If I am providing a service for money, and my clients make money with that service, I
