Description Mike Hammill 2006-03-16 07:05:37 UTC

It appears that reiserfs is suppored by 2006.0 on PPC, but when one tried to mkfs.reiserfs one gets the same results as doing a mkfs.reiserfs -V (i.e., only basic version info, nothing is actually done to create a reiserfs file system). This applied to the 2006.0 minimal CD (no others were tested). 

Work around is to go back to the 2005.1-r1 minimal CD where reiserfs works perfectly.  (Have been using successfully for sometime on a G4).

It's compiled as a module into the kernel.  Probably you need to run 'modprobe reiserfs'.

I changed the size of a reiserfs-partition from the Minimal-CD.  So the tools are working.

I'm guessing that makes this one INVALID.
