Will FC3 use ReiserFS 4?

[s0lus]

Being that I just switched to reiserfs which came with FC2, I was wondering if Fedora Core 3 will be released with ReiserFS 4? If anyone has any info on this that would be great...

Im looking forward to FC3 like its Christmas....

I hope FC3 will come with Reiser4.

If not... I will manually install Reiser4 then

Wow. the stats for reiser4 are impressive..

I wonder if windows or someone think of a way to mount reiser4 drives in windows ... if not.. it's still all good

you can run (on Windows) something like coLinux with some minimal distro on top of it, than you can mount any FS that Linux supports and export it via Samba for Windows host...

i think you just answer and issue i am having with mounting mkd 10 from the grub....i believe during installation that is the type of partitions mkd is using....

you can always use another FS for /boot partition...

Han's tells you not to run rs4 on /boot, you should use ext2/3

I've ran rs4 on a gentoo box on / and /home and when i get a chance I will mv / on a test fc2 box and format it with rs4 and bring it back and see if she lives. (of course you have to roll a kernel with the patch - mm-sources)

I certainly hope so. I also hope Gnome 2.8 and Xorg 6.8 make it in.

here's a thread on the fedora-devel mailinglist about Reiser 4. There are some excelent points made: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedor.../msg00954.html

It is really coming out near Xmas? Any one know the official day?

here is the schedule. is reiser4 really stable yet, sure they released it as stable, but so did redhat with fc2 and there were a few known bugs. with a filesystem, you can't have bugs becuase the result will be lost data and thats not acceptable for any computer, no matter how cuting edge.

I'm still running a box w/ reiser4 (gentoo) and it is been stable for me. I've gone through the reset test/pull plug and the system has come up just fine.

If I have time this weekend, I still plan and giving rs4 some time on my dual xeon box, I haven't booted in the fc2 for over a month and been using my rawhide install so I figure I'll format fc2 to reiserf4 and mv/cp the data from my rawhide slice and adjust grub accordingly and see what happens. (just have to find some time) ;(

edit:

Just found some reiser4progs rpms from:

http://apt.bea.ki.se/kernel-desktop/...desktop/SRPMS/

So atleast I wont have to build those ;-)

did you unplug thw box while the system was under heavy load? that will really test its ability to recover, and that usualy the only time disaster strikes
