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.

Caution.png

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
Caution.png

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.
