Reiser4 Patches at last

Submitted by Vlad on Sat, 12/29/2007 - 05:33.

After being inaccessible for several weeks (if not months), I was finally able to get my hands on some kernel patches for Reiser4. I originally found the patches and software below on this site.

Without further ado:

6c55201acd2a2c0a1f46addf248da6a2   libaal-1.0.5.tar.gz
8c618e35a4a893f0e948b03cee25749d   reiser4progs-1.0.6.tar.gz
818328d0e50fc90f05832e680562dd4a   reiser4-for-2.6.23.patch.bz2

For you Gentoo users out there, the above patch for the 2.6.23 kernel applies cleanly to sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r3. Handy if you want to play around with Reiser4. ;)

Some instructions for the newer users on how to patch your kernel:

# emerge gentoo-sources
# cd /usr/src/linux
# wget portal.itauth.com/files/linux/reiser4/reiser4-for-2.6.23.patch.bz2
# bunzip2 reiser4-for-2.6.23.patch.bz2
# patch -p1 --dry-run < reiser4-for-2.6.23.patch.bz2
(if the patch applies cleanly, remove --dry-run from the above command)

Then be sure to enable Reiser4 in the File System options. And don't forget to emerge libaal and reiser4progs. They're still in the Gentoo distfiles archive so no need to download them from here; I merely included them for completeness.
