ReiserFS resizer .. ----- Forwarded message from Hans Reiser <reiser@idiom.com> ----- To: "reiserfs@devlinux.com" <reiserfs@devlinux.com>, Heinz Mauelshagen <mauelsha@ez-darmstadt.telekom.de>, Alexander Zarochentcev <zam@programbank.ru>, Markus Rex <msrex@suse.de>, Hubert Mantel <mantel@suse.de>, Volker Wiegand <wiegand@suse.de>, Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Subject: (reiserfs) reiserfs 3.5.11 released, lightly tested, includes resize_reiserfs command (offline growing only for now) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The resizer is missing such things as a man page, and its usage instructions don't document all options, but it seems to work....., everyone here in Pereslavl gave it a try..... It changes the disk format on you:-(..... but if it tests well today and tomorrow, maybe it or a 3.5.12 can make it to the SuSE website in time for the 6.3 release on December 1..... Heinz, please coordinate with zam about LVM integration, zam is the author of the resizer. This release also fixes the creating files in a deleted directory bug, but we still haven't had a chance to run the Chris Sturgess crash reiserfs script. (Will do before 3.5.12) We now leave 64k of space unused at the start of reiserfs. Can folks who get a chance to please try to stress this version? Shrinking and online resizing are the next tasks for zam.... He did this resizer code in 11 days..... a great job!.... Thanks to all, Hans -- Get Linux (http://www.kernel.org) plus ReiserFS (http://devlinux.org/namesys). If you sell an OS or internet appliance, buy a port of ReiserFS!
