Re: [reiserfs-list] current state of reiserfs, patches needed with current kernel, lvm, quotas, nfs?

I Yes. ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mason/patches/reiserfs/quota-2.4/2.4.15 (It should apply to 2.4.16 cleanly) use a current quota version, of course, as older ones had a 2GB limit etc...

You should use 3.6 format for nfs shares I hope that anybody can give me a quick answer (usually only yes/no), I can get the details myself, of course. But I think it would be good to have a complete list of former problems, their current state and workarounds in one mail. So maybe this will avoid installation errors in trhe future (e.g. my future, as I will update our server installations quite soon... ;-) Thank You, CU, Lars. Thanks, vs
