Actually, the above sequence fails on the second command. > Take a look at the http://www.namesys.com/code.html. I have. It tells me how to make a copy of the reiser bk repository. But does the reiser repository mirror the one at linux.bkbits.net? Does it have the latest 2.6 code? Or should I merge the reiser repository with the one at linux.bkbits.net? In other words, how do I go about merging the latest code tree from linux.bkbits.net with the latest code tree from bk.namesys.com ? > But: > > 1. reiser4 is highly experimental, > 2. fsck is not yet ready. Understood. > so, be careful, don't trust it valuable data and do backup (just for > case). I've been following this list for over a year, and have been using Reiserfs since before Ext3 went stable. I think you're worried that amateurs will try out the code, experience problems, and develop an unfavorable view of Reiser4 before it's production-ready. Please understand that I'm fully aware of the consequences and I wouldn't blame you guys if anything goes wrong. But I'm excited about Reiser4 and I'd like to play around with the latest code, on a non-production system.
