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.

The tools to maintain a ReiserFS (Reiser v3) filesystem are called reiserfsprogs. If your distribution does not ship a pre-compiled package, we have to build this manually:

sudo apt-get install uuid-dev            # Debian, Ubuntu
sudo yum install libuuid-devel           # Fedora

wget https://api.opensuse.org/public/source/filesystems/reiserfs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.21.tar.bz2
tar -xzf reiserfsprogs-3.6.21.tar.bz2
cd reiserfsprogs-3.6.21
./configure --prefix=/opt/reiserfsprogs
make && sudo make install
