Greetings:
I've been looking for an up-to-date URL regarding Reiser4 filesystem;
namesys.com is down. Does anyone know where I can find Reiser4 stuff?
Although I'm a big Debian fan and fairly experienced, I don't know if it's
possible to patch Debian sources with Reiser4 from the repos on the fly
with dpkg or...?
I have managed to chroot into my latest deb install on Reiser4, but I was
hoping to BOOT directly to it....
Grub2 is not patched yet for Reiser4; There are some patches for legacy
Grub, but its not compiling. I think it's the fact that the latest dev
files are: 1.0.6-1 and the legacy grub patch is: 1.0.5.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Although I don't use reiserfs (xfs fan myself), I always make my /boot a
separate partition and use ext2. /boot doesn't need any sort of
performance, and the compatibility advantage of ext2 is nice. If your
/boot is compatible with your bootloader and the modules for your root
filesystem are in your initrd, then you can use anything for /
Hope this helps.

By-the-way, I noticed quite a difference of performance with Reiser4.

Opps, sorry for the noise here.
I've tried lilo (v-22.8) and I haven't been able to make it boot to Reiser4,
although I know it's supposed to.
I haven't patched it though, just used the repos.
