If it's in the kernel, it will get pulled in. Else, it doesn't. *** Bug 100663 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Are you saying that your kernel does not have support for reiserfs in this release? In previous installation programs you have been able to pass reiserfs as a parameter to the kernel, enabling it. Why is that not the case here? Because the module isn't built. *** Bug 100865 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Once the system is installed reiserfs is in the kernel*-unsupported package (a collection of extra unsupported modules) - pick whichever matches your kernel and add it. However reiserfs isn't supported at install time because the module isn't in kernel-BOOT, and there is no equivalent kernel-BOOT-unsupported package (though it isn't obvious how this would work even if there was). Where can one get these kernel*-unsupported packages for installation, and how do you plan on making the users aware of their option to use ReiserFS? Reiserfs support would be greatly appreciated. I use it on mail servers, proxy servers, rsync backup servers, cvs servers etc... (generally anywhere that I would either run out of inodes, or where I would have to wait more than .75 seconds to do an "ls" in a directory. ReiserFS is GREAT for file systems where there are lot s and lots of small files. Kernel is building the module correctly.. Should work these days as long as it's being modprobe'd by anaconda. /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2093.nptl/unsupported/fs/reiserfs: -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 240868 Oct 14 22:59 reiserfs.o* Yep, should be fine in test3 at least (if not test2 as well) when you boot with 'linux reiserfs' |
