[gentoo-user] Beagle on Gentoo Reiserfs filesystem - Possible?

[gentoo-user] Beagle on Gentoo Reiserfs filesystem - Possible?

[Paul Hoy Gmail]

Hello,

I'm confused about running Beagle on a Gentoo reiserfs filesystem. 

Gentoo provides a HOWTO Beagle (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Beagle)
and uses a reiserfs filesystem (included extended attributues) as an
example throughout. However, the Beagle Web site states in its FAQ
(http://www.beaglewiki.org/FAQ) that Beagle does not support Reiser4S:
"Reiser4 does not support the standard Linux extended attribute
interfaces, but instead implements its own. If/when Reiser4 supports
extended attributes, it will be supported."

The Gentoo HOWTO wiki explains that a user should enable extended
attributes for his or her filesystems, and shows how you can do so
with Ext2. The author of the wiki says you can do the same with
reiserfs, but I don't recall seeing the option in the kernel (when I
configured it a couple of weeks ago).

Finally, the Gentoo Wiki author adds the "user_xattr" option to the
reiserfs entry in fstab. This suggests that reiserfs is supported. The
fact that the option doesn't appear in the kernel, suggest that it's
not. And, the fact that the Beagle Web site says reiserfs is not
support Beagle also suggests that I can run Beagle on an reiserfs
filesystem.

Any leads, hints, suggestions, solutions, answers?

Could it be the difference between reiserfs and reiser4 (ie version 3.6 
vs 4)?

Hi,
Using reiserfsprogs-3.6.19 (reiser-3) and also have extended-attributes
support in kernel-config (reiser-3).
Haven't checked but think/remember that reiserfs-4 has it's own
security/encryption things (in filesystem).
IMO above wiki in for reiserfs-3 only and will work with it.
Extended-attr. for reiserfs are under reiserfs-config.

Naga,

I think you're on to something. In my ignorance, I thought that reiser4
was some sort of typo, since I never heard of reiser4.

Thanks!

Hi Rumen,

Can you expand on your statement, "for reiserfs are under
reiserfs-config"? Is this a patch?

Thanks,
Paul

It's there, I used the Wiki HOWTO to install Beagle myself quite
recently. Here are my reiserfs kernel settings

[root@hactar ~]# grep REIS /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set
CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO=y
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR=y
# CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set
# CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_SECURITY is not set

You can run Beagle on a reiser3 filesystem.

Thanks, Neil, for your settings. I'll modify my stuff after work this
evening, and report back.

Hi,

Well, I finally have some time to try out Beagle. Now, my .config
settings differ from yours. They are:

# grep REIS /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set
# CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_SECURITY=y

The last two settings differ from yours. Do you think that this could be
part of the problem?

Thanks.
