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
From Reiser4 FS Wiki
The tools to maintain a Reiser4 filesystem are called reiser4progs and can be found on Sourceforge. If your distribution does not ship a pre-compiled package, we have to build this manually.
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!
- If libaal has been installed from a distribution package (libaal-dev resp. libaal-devel), the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS can be omitted!
