This is a recap of current situation with reiserfsprogs (from my
standpoint):
-- 3.6.19.1
/
3.6.19 ---- 3.6.20 --- 3.6.20.1
Descriptions:
Reiserfsprogs-3.6.19
Status: stable
Comments: This is a standard package which is used in most distros
with the ReiserFS support.
Reiserfsprogs-3.6.20
Status: stable
Comments: This contains massive cleanups and an --rebuild-tree
optimization (made by Vitaly Fertman) for specific filesystem
corruption which made reiserfsck to work extremely slow (including
the fixup for a problem which caused reiserfsck to consume to 100%
of CPU on phase 2).
Reiserfsprogs-3.6.19.1
Status: stable
Comments: This contains changes made by Jeff Mahoney (everything
got testing as a part of latest SuSE distros).
Reiserfsprogs-3.6.20.1
Status: beta???
Comments: This contains the work about improving of overall
reiserfsck performance. This work was done by Vladimir Saveliev
for EMC. NOTE: despite Vladimir forked 3.6.19, I consider it as
an update of 3.6.20 (because his improvements includes the fixups
from 3.6.20).
I am about to put the forked stuff above for wide public needs
(at kernel.org). All brunches are supposed to be merged at 3.6.21
after Vladimir's branch gets more testing.
Problems:
1. The status of Reiserfsprogs-3.6.20.1 should be clarified.
Did the Vladimir's branch get testing?
2. I don't have Reiserfsprogs-3.6.20.1. Are there any snapshot
on this mirror that can be put for public needs:
ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/packages/linux-reiserfs ?
3. Perhaps, I will need help in addressing possible bugreports
and the final merge of all branches.
Any comments, updates, suggestions?
Thanks,
Edward.
