[gentoo-user] 2.6.30 and reiserfs?

[gentoo-user] 2.6.30 and reiserfs?

[Konstantinos Agouros]

Hi,

I am using reiserfs just for my squid-cache nevertheless after I booted
2.6.30-r4 on an amd64 system, I couldn't create any files on that
partition. Is there a way to convert the partition to work or do I really
have to change filesystems?

Regards,

Konstantin

It says: "All is good". I tried that. The error message complains about not
being able to set times properly.

I'm currently using ReiserFS (along with 2.6.30-r6 but I've also used
2.6.30-r4) for my boot partition and I'm able to write in it, without
any kind of problem.
Could it be a mountpoint problem?

Do I need to change anything in the options when mounting? I fell back
to 2.6.29-r5 no problem there.

I am using reiserfs on / and /home and have not experienced any problems with 
the gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r5/6.  So unless you've left some reiserfs fs 
drivers out of the kernel I am not sure why you may be experiencing problems.

This is my / mounting entry in fstab:

/dev/hda3      /     reiserfs        noatime              1 1

HTH.

I had some weirdness with .30 and reiser. I was using .30 sucessfully for a few days, then had to hard reset but reiser had problems mounting on reboot. I tried booting .30 twice with no luck. Booted .29 and it worked fine - in fact no messages about the filesystem at all - it just loaded normally. I didn't bother persuing it because I had read about similar issues with .30 (IIRC on this list) and figured it was probably a kernel bug....

That could have been me - oops in reiserfs "slowpath" (seen in dmesg or
logs) .  The good (great news for me) is that the bug has gone away in
2.6.31 ...

I have no issues whatsoever on this amd64 notebook with 2.6.30 and reiser. 
It's now on 2.6.31 and still working fine. My ancient x86 file server is still 
on 2.6.29, mostly as I'd read the same report you did.

The problematic combination reported then was x86, reiser, 2.6.30, IDE chipset

AMD64, reiser, sata (3ware)... strange

I  have had some weirdness recently with a 3ware 9500-S & 2.6.30- 
gentoo-r4, but since you still haven't told us ANYTHING about the  
problem you're encountering, it's a little difficult to help.

If You read the whole thread You would have seen, that I did. But for
You again:

file creation is not possible (eg touch foo) with the error message
'can not set times' (or similar, i had to fall back to 2.6.29 since
this is a production system).

Konstantin

FWIW I had problems with amd64 (Dell Studio 1737). Perhaps a different issue. Also the hard lock up that preceeded the reiser issue occurred multiple times on .30, whereas .29 is solid.
