Odd isn't it, but the attached log is a pretty convincing
demonstration to me, and it will mount .iso files fine too. Somebody
must have corrected what turned out to be a tiny bug and never
documented it.
However you cannot fsck.reiser4 the filesystem in the file:-
imogen tester # fsck.reiser4 --check opt.img
Fatal: The partition (opt.img) is mounted with write permissions,
cannot fsck it.
imho that should be fixed sometime.
The patch against 2.6.22.9 is reiser4-for-2.6.22-2.patch.gz
size: 619987
md5sum: f7060338c6b3f59a8b6aeee59e15f7a5
The patch against linux-2.6.23.1 is reiser4-for-2.6.23.patch.bz2
size: 447704
md5sum: 818328d0e50fc90f05832e680562dd4a
( Just so we all know exactly what I'm doing :-)
The utility programs are reiser4progs-1.0.6.tar.gz
size: 799613
btw, There was a bug which showed up if you tried to over fill the
file system using either bittorrent or rsync. The filesystem used to
get seriously discombobulated. I haven't been game to try to trigger
it recently.
Has that been been fixed?
