ReiserFS

Hi!

i'm trying to upgrade my 2.6.9-5 kernel for allowing reiserFS partitions, but i need to build the kernel from a SPEC file and i have always compiled using traditional form (make config, make dep, etc). How i can install a new kernel using a rebuilded kernel with reiserfs support?

Thanks in advance!

Depending on the kernel you've got, you may not need to rebuild your kernel. Look in:

ls /lib/modules/2.6.9-5/kernel/fs/

Is there a reiserfs/resiserfs.o   ?

In which case:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-5/kernel/fs/reiserfs/resiserfs.o

and you have reiser support.

As an aside, if the module exists, then merely requesting to mount a reiserfs, or including a reiserfs in your fstab, should cause the reiserfs module to be automatically installed.

when i tried to recompile:

  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h
make[1]: *** No hay ninguna regla para construir el objetivo `init/main.o', necesario para `init/built-in.o'.  Alto.
make: *** [init] Error 2
You need to install the kernel-devel rpm (or equivalent) for your system and kernel version. This includes the header files required for it.

Did you find the module already on your system then?
