Description Steven Parker 2009-02-15 06:02:33 UTC
When running make on gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r1 (possibly earlier versions as well), it fails to compile with reiser4. The failure is on the file_conversion.o file.

Applying the patch at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/fs-symlink-write_begin-allocation-context-fix-reiser4-fix.patch solves the problem. This should be included in the ebuild along with the other patch that is already there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="reiser4" emerge gentoo-sources
2. make
Comment 1 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2009-02-17 14:35:02 UTC
gentoo-sources does not have reiser4 use flag
