Introduction to Reiser4

The Reiser4 file system is a very fast atomic file system developed by Namesys. The Reiser4 package contains various utilities for managing reiser4fs (version 4) partitions.

Project Homepage: http://www.namesys.com/

Dependencies

Required

  • libaal >= 1.0.5
  • kernel patch for your kernel version

Optional

  • grub >= 0.97-reiser4-20050808

Building Reiser4 Enabled Kernel

Patch your kernel with the appropriate reiser4-for-2.6.<x>-patch, where <x> is your kernel minor version from the list of patches above. 

gunzip -c reiser4-for-2.6.<x>.patch.gz | patch -p1
Caution.png

Note

When configuring the kernel, please make sure that you do NOT select: 
Kernel hacking ---> Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb

Configure the kernel and DO select the following option: 

   Code maturity level options ---> Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers

Compile the kernel: 

make

Boot with new, Reiser4 enabled kernel before continuing.
