Have there been any reports other than Isaac's of reiser4 working on
AMD64? It still doesn't work for me, and I'd like to know if I'm the
only one having problems.

Hi,
bundle a set of patches together, send them to andrew morton, and then 
start a discussion on the changes to core kernel code that Hellweg and 
company object to that currently prevent our inclusion.
That is nice.
Are we going to have patches for vanilla 2.6.10 for non -mm users?
I mean patches trivial to apply. Because the -mm tree contains lots of
r4 patches. And applying them in correct order may be troublesome.
Users really like one patch to be applied without unknown dependencies.

What kernel are you using?

I tried 2.6.10-rc2-mm4 with Zam's bitmap.c patch and 2.6.9 with the
version -3 patch. I also tried compiling with GCC 3.3 rather than 3.4,
using reiser4progs 1.0.3, and running in loopback mode, but nothing has
worked yet.

I recently purchased an AMD64 setup.
Here's the catch; I did so because my old box went belly-up and now
it seems the GFX card is broken (The box shut itself down and doesn't
boot if the GFX card has its extra power cable connected, regardless
of the amount of other hardware. I hate hardware.)

Anyway, due to severe space limitations, I couldn't back my home up
so I'm hoping it'll work long enough for me to wiggle some stuff
somewhere else.

My plan for testing is to use Reiser4 in (at least) an x86 chroot,
which should hit amd64 bugs nonetheless, because the only difference
is how the software is compiled, yes?

Anything specific I should look out for? Nothing I have in my home
directory is _that_ critical for me to get out _now_, but I would
like to get it some day :>

Thanks guys!

It sort of works for me on a dual opteron on top of raid10 on top op
scsi. This is 64bit and kernel 2.6.10-rc3-mm1. It survives bonnie++ but
I re-installed one of the two identical servers with reiser3 because I
got fs corruption (for whatever reason) which fsck could not fix. It
said the fs was just fine after several fsck runs with different
parameters (which it told me to run with), but at least several libs
were corrupted.

I'm sorry I don't have more info on this.
