[reiserfs-list] ReiserFS kernel compatibility

[_nasturtium]

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to use Reiser as root, user and home 
partitions in Peanut Linux? It was recommended on the Linux Mandrake 
mailing list as a 299MB installation (99MB download) for low end systems, and 
with Reiser3.6 I'm hoping to save some more space.

Furthermore, and almost more importantly, I'd like to announce KTuberling 
(also known as Mr Potato Guy Identity Kit) runs on Peanut Linux!

Thanks in advance, (unless you plan to charge me)

P.S. My support budget for this week is $2.50.

If they use linux kernel 2.2 or 2.4, it is possible.
You may need to recompile their kernel to include in-kernel reiserfs support, though. 
(if they do
not include it by default).

reiserfs 3.6 is only implemented for 2.4 and 2.5 kernel series.
You can use reiserfs 3.5 with linux kernel 2.2.
It will give you same space savings, but will limit your files to be less than 2G in 
size.
Also some NFS (server) disadvantages.

Bye,
