Most of the documentation is a snapshot of the old Namesys site (archive.org, 2007-09-29).

There was also a Reiser4 Wiki (archive.org, 2007-07-06) once on pub.namesys.com.

Reiser4 development appears to have stalled and ReiserFS is deprecated and scheduled to be removed from mainline Linux in 2025.

The tools to maintain a Reiser4 filesystem are called reiser4progs and can be found on Sourceforge.

To compile reiser4progs, we'll need libaal too:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/reiser4/reiser4-utils/libaal/libaal-1.0.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf libaal-1.0.5.tar.gz
cd libaal-1.0.5
./configure --prefix=/opt/libaal
make && sudo make install

Now we can build reiser4progs:

sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev uuid-dev            # Debian, Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install readline-devel  libuuid-devel       # openSUSE, Fedora

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/reiser4/reiser4-utils/reiser4progs/reiser4progs-1.0.7.tar.gz
tar -xzf reiser4progs-1.0.7.tar.gz
cd reiser4progs-1.0.7
CFLAGS="-I/opt/libaal/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/libaal/lib" ./configure --prefix=/opt/reiser4progs
make && sudo make install

Note: use LDFLAGS="-L/opt/libaal/lib" for 64 bit systems!
