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.
Reiserfsprogs
From Reiser4 FS Wiki
The tools to maintain a ReiserFS (Reiser v3) filesystem are called reiserfsprogs and should be shipped by most distributions. If it doesn't, we have to build it manually.
Install prerequisites:
sudo apt-get install uuid-dev # Debian, Ubuntu sudo yum install libuuid-devel # Fedora sudo zypper install libuuid-devel # openSUSE
Get source:
wget https://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jeffm/reiserfsprogs/v3.6.23/reiserfsprogs-3.6.23.tar.{sign,xz} xz -d reiserfsprogs*.tar.xz gpg --recv-keys 2179E5B2 gpg --verify reiserfsprogs*.tar.sign tar -xf reiserfsprogs*.tar cd reiserfsprogs*
Build & install:
./configure --prefix=/opt/reiserfsprogs && make sudo make install
Or, from the Git tree:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeffm/reiserfsprogs.git cd reiserfsprogslibtoolize --copy --install --force && aclocal && autoheader && autoconf ./configure --prefix=/opt/reiserfsprogs && make sudo make install-- Hm, we're missing something here
