If you use the latest reiser4progs you cannot mount the partition with the old snapshot in your kernel, take a newer snapshot. Either from one of the later loves or from http://www.namesys.com/auto-snapshots/. reiser4 and love-sources is not supported by Gentoo and I don't believe reiser4progs should be in portage either - at the very least it should be hardmasked. Vapier, any ideas what to do with reiser4progs? love sources == not Gentoo's problem reiser4 == supported by Gentoo only so much as we add/update the packages ... after that, it's up to you to make it work; file bugs upstream, not with us Many thanks Stephan. At least I understand what is happening now. I tried to revert to reiser4progs 0.5.4 but this will no longer compile. This may be due my having changed to gcc 3.4 in the meantime. I should have stayed with what worked . This constant updating is often a cause of more problems to sort out. As for taking R4 out of Gentoo portage, that does not seem very helpful. That would effectivly be taking out reiser4 . One of the best things about Gentoo is that we have portage to install and test new features like R4 , which I have been using heavily for several months without problems. I came across an issue and thought it would be helpful to file a bug. Stephan's reply has enabled me to search for a solution and to post the answer on the forums for others to find. Are there any "supported" kernels sets that run reliably with r4 ? no, like i mentioned earlier, Gentoo is not going to support reiser4 ... if it shows up in a kernel that's in portage, we might touch it then as for the packages, we'll add them and version bump them but that's about it ... file bugs upstream with the reiser maintainers |
