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 ReiserFS (Reiser v3) filesystem are called reiserfsprogs and can be found on kernel.org.

NOTE: Reiserfsprogs-3.6.21 is the current version and considered stable. This version 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), you have to build your own:

 $ sudo apt-get install uuid-dev
 $ 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 --recv-keys 517D0F0E 
 $ 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
