Hi,
Thanks for the information. I still am not entirely
clear about the versioning and have a couple of
questions.
1. As you said, reiserfs is included in the 2.6.7
kernel. Does that mean that the reiserfs bundled with
this kernel has all the latest updates and patches ?
Is there any kind of version information maintained to
this effect ? How do I know if I am in need of any
updates to the reiserfs I have in my kernel tree ?
2. I am aware that 3.6.17 is reiserfstools as you
mentioned. Is that the latest one available ?
Thanks in advance
Ashish
