Good, so I don't have to reformat _immediately_...
But, why isn't it for 2.6.12 yet? We're already on at least 2.6.12.2,
last I checked...
The reiser4progs-1.0.4 are not able to handle the format changes. The
fix for reiser4progs will be ready next week.
Will there be a conversion tool?
No. Reiser4progs just will support a set of new plugins which have been
added to the kernel.
In particular, mkfs.reiser4 should allow user to specify the plugins
like other existing
ones. This will be a way to create cryptcompress files per superblock.
There is another
more flexible way (which is compatible with the previous one) to create
it per file/directory,
but it uses deprecated metas interface..
Note: since cryptcompress plugin is unstable, the new options are
supposed to be undocumented.
Thanks,
Edward.
