Why bother wasting our time? Do you get anaconda-specific reiserfs bugs? In that case I see the motivation more clearly. IF it's to protect the kernel devs, it won't work unless we turn off CONFIG_REISER_FS too. People will just make filesystems elsewhere even if not on root/install. -Eric > - Chris > > _______________________________________________ > Anaconda-devel-list mailing list > Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
