Welcome to the Reiser4 Wiki, the Wiki for users and developers of the ReiserFS and Reiser4 filesystems.
For now, most of the documentation is just 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.
Reiser4progs
Reiser4progs
reiser4progs can be found on kernel.org.
The current version is v1.0.7.
To compile reiser4progs, we'll need libaal too:
$ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiser4/libaal/libaal-1.0.5.tar.bz2 $ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiser4/libaal/libaal-1.0.5.tar.bz2.sign $ gpg --verify libaal-1.0.5.tar.bz2.sign libaal-1.0.5.tar.bz2 gpg: Signature made Sun Apr 20 01:21:05 2008 CEST using DSA key ID 517D0F0E gpg: Good signature from "Linux Kernel Archives Verification Key <ftpadmin@kernel.org>" $ tar -xjf libaal-1.0.5.tar.bz2 $ cd libaal-1.0.5 $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/libaal && make && sudo make install
Now we can build reiser4progs:
$ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiser4/reiser4progs/reiser4progs-1.0.7.tar.bz2 $ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiser4/reiser4progs/reiser4progs-1.0.7.tar.bz2.sign $ gpg --verify reiser4progs-1.0.7.tar.bz2.sign reiser4progs-1.0.7.tar.bz2 gpg: Signature made Mon Feb 9 17:43:05 2009 CET using DSA key ID 517D0F0E gpg: Good signature from "Linux Kernel Archives Verification Key <ftpadmin@kernel.org>" $ tar -xjf reiser4progs-1.0.7.tar.bz2 $ cd reiser4progs-1.0.7 $ CFLAGS="-I/opt/libaal/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/libaal/lib" \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/reiser4progs && make && sudo make install
ReiserFSprogs
The tools to maintain a ReiserFS (Reiser v3) are called reiserfsprogs and can be found here.
NOTE: Reiserfsprogs-3.6.21 is the current version and considered stable. This contains changes made by Jeff Mahoney (everything got testing as a part of latest SuSE distros).
If reiserfsprogs is not already part of your distribution (unlikely, it should be available), we have to build our own:
$ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiserfs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.21.tar.bz2 $ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiserfs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.21.tar.bz2.sign $ gpg --verify reiserfsprogs-3.6.21.tar.bz2.sign reiserfsprogs-3.6.21.tar.bz2 gpg: Signature made Sat Jan 10 16:15:04 2009 CET using DSA key ID 517D0F0E gpg: Good signature from "Linux Kernel Archives Verification Key <ftpadmin@kernel.org>" $ tar -xjf reiserfsprogs-3.6.21.tar.bz2 $ cd reiserfsprogs-3.6.21 $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/reiserfsprogs && make && sudo make install
