I never looked too far into that issue, because I didn't need it back then.

I guess this means that I'll won't use reiser4 again until 2 TB drives
come out and I upgrade. Maybe by then reiser4 will be included in the
kernel and files-as-directory will work :)



reiser4 resize

2006-09-18 Thread Jack Byer
Short summary: Will a resize program for reiser4 be available within the
next six months?

Long explanation:

I use a 3ware SATA raid card for the main storage on my home network. I
currently have 8 250 GB drives in a raid 5 + hot spare configuration. I
 chose this card because it allows for online capacity expansion. My
plan was to wait until a few generations of hard drives emerged then
upgrade them one at a time in cycles. This way my storage will
periodically expand without any major downtime.

When I first created the filesystem, there was a reiser4 resize program.
This is no longer the case.

I've began my next upgrade cycle with the purchase of two 750 GB drives.
I plan to buy one each month until all eight are replaced. Now I need to
make a decision. Do I backup my raid onto the new drives and reformat my
raid with another filesystem (xfs, reiser3, jfs), or do I put these new
drives into the array and assume that when the time comes to resize the
filesystem that a working program will exist?



Re: can not compile reiser4

2003-08-14 Thread Jack Byer
I don't understand how the patch could be the problem. It doesn't change
anything in the fs/reiser4 directory at all. The file that won't compile is
fs/reiser4/entd.c, which is the most recent version from
bk://bk.namesys.com/bk/reiser4

I figured out the problem; I forgot to use "bk -r get".
