A patch from Namesys allow Gpart to handle recent reiserfs partition, but is not applied on Gentoo. As these FS is one of the most used (the default under Gentoo), it would be great if it was applied. It is available at : ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/misc-patches/gpart-0.1h-reiserfs-3.6.patch.gz
gpart already supports reiserfs ... it just refers to it as 'rfs' ... that's pretty much all that patch does ... rename all the 'rfs' stuff to 'reiserfs'
Please excuse me if my previous post wasn't clear enough, but this patch from Namesys is a rewrite of the reiserfs detection module that allow him to handle *recent* reiserfs partitions (3.6.X as created under kernels >2.4).
Without applying this patch ReiserFS 3.6 partitions are *NOT* recognized. It took me more than 3 hours to find this patch. Please!!! Apply it and make it available in Portage.
I agree. Why hasn't this been added?
Created attachment 45102 [details, diff] gpart-0.1h-reiserfs-3.6.patch Here's the patch. It is not just a rename from rfs to reiserfs Spanky.
