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:
Note
The official Namesys site is closed. Destiny of the Reiser4 project is unknown. Support of Reiser4fs is included in the Edward's kernel patchsets.
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
Patch your kernel with patch if you kernel version is a 2.6.28.<z>
patch -Np1 -i linux-2.6.28.7-reiser4-grab_cache_page-1.patch
Note
When configuring the kernel, please make sure that you do NOT select (removed in recent kernels):
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.
Building Reiser4 Package
Non-Multilib
Compile libaal:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib && make
Install libaal
make install
Compile the package:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sbindir=/sbin --libdir=/lib && make
Install the package
make install
Multilib
32Bit
Compile libaal:
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib &&
make
Install libaal
make install
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --sbindir=/sbin --libdir=/lib &&
make
Install the package
make install
N32
Compile libaal:

Short Descriptions
| libaal | library that provides application abstraction mechanism. It includes device abstraction, libc independence code, etc. |
|---|---|
| debugfs.reiser4 | can sometimes help to solve problems with Reiser4 file systems. |
| mkfs.reiser4, make_reiser4 | creates a Reiser4 file system. |
| fsck.reiser4 | is used to check or repair a Reiser4 file system. |
| measurefs.reiser4 | the program for measuring reiser4 filesystem parameters (fragmentation, node packing, etc.). |
