Good day.
Hello.
I want to ask you about reiser4 and grub-2.
I am try to write to Yuriy Umanets but his mailboxes are inactive...
Some few days ago I findes his request about this.
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2008-02/msg00263.html)
If it is possible, can you describe current state of Raiser4 support
in
Grub2.
Unsupported.
As I know this task yet placed in Grub's TODO list.
I hope this idea yet alive.
I didn't look at grub2/fs interface yet, but believe that it
is better then grub1's one.
There is a patch for reiser4 support in grub1. I don't
think it will be a big problem to adjust this one for grub2:
the sources are quite understandable.
The only thing I am unhappy with is that it can not boot
reiser4 via module stage1_5 (it is too big and can not
fit in 62 sectors), It means that user will need to re-install
grub every time after defragmentation (currently
unsupported, but upcoming). So it would be nice to resolve
this problem in grub2 somehow.
Btrfs stage1_5 module with multi-device support
successfully fits in 62 sectors. Why reiser4 can not?
I think we need to get rid of the mini-library with a lot
of unneeded functions and put everything in one file
(as other file systems do).
Thanks,
Edward.
Looks like some others have had a go at compiling grub2 ,see:

Reiser4... Or I miss anything?

Thanks for the information. I looked also for R4 support and then
wondered as well, but had no time to go deeper into the case yesterday .
Have fun
