If you want to add a plugin for reiser4 you have to recompile your kernel. If you want other people to use it, you have to distribute a kernel patch. If you want to reach a broad audience in finite time you better put another layer on top of the FS to get things done. I have started playing with reiser4 a while ago to write a plugin to enumerate changed files fast and reliably. But even if I find the time to get it done some day, it would still be hard to make people use it, at least with reiser4's notion of a plugin. If you want to introduce features which completely redefine a filesystem.. what can I say.. good luck?

( Reply ) Re: reiser4? by superstoned on Wednesday 23/Feb/2005, @14:40 but if this was an option in KDE 4.0, the Gentoo guys will start using and testing it, then Suse and Lindows (ReiserFS4 sponsors) will test and maybe start using it, and others will follow... thanx to the gentoo users we don't have much to do with the chicken-and-egg problem, they love new things (me as debian user does so, too, but its easier with gentoo to try them). [ Reply To This | View ] Re: reiser4? by me on Wednesday 23/Feb/2005, @14:59 oh...interesting! I'd like to store thousands of big images (between 10 and 200mb a piece) and need to be notified when they are changed... Does your plugin have a webpage? I've been looking for something like that, and I've grown frustrated with the available solutions (fam, enhanced dnotify and even www.dazuko.org suck), so I'd like to know more... Is reiser4 stable? [ Reply To This | View ] Re: reiser4? by wilbert on Wednesday 23/Feb/2005, @15:48 > Is reiser4 stable? According to www.namesys.com/v4/v4.html: "We must caution that just as Linux 2.6 is not yet as stable as Linux 2.4, it will also be some substantial time before V4 is as stable as V3." (as of 29 dec 2004). So may be not yet, but testing will definitely be very, very interesting!
