Hello NG,

running SuSE Linux with ReiserFS on an Intel platform, I wonder if
there's the possibility to run LinuxPPC with the ReiserFS and if there
is, how?
tia.

Hi,

I am going to try this out this weekend or next week, but I think that
should work.
If I have understood this, BootX loads Kernels from the given
directory on the HFS partition. So it should work to compile a
2.4.3 (or so) Kernel with ReiserFS and put it on the HFS directory.
Then backup boot and os partition on another ext2fs partition or
machine, mkfs.reiser on the old boot ext2fs partition, restart,
mount old ext2fs, copy data back and enjoy...

*******************
Hi Oliver,

ich denke, es muesste funktionieren einen 2.4.3er-Kernel zu
backen, in das Kernel-Verzeichnis der HFS-Partition zu tun,
dann die Daten der ext2fs-Partition(en) zu backupen.
Danach muesste man mit dem neuen Kernel in die gewohnte
ext2fs-Platte booten, ein mkfs.reiser (oder so) auf diese
machen und dann wieder alles vom Backup zurueckspielen
und diese Platte dann zukuenftig als root verwenden :-)

Ich wollte das sowieso mal ausprobieren, da mein
Stromlieferant MVV (*denunzier*) mich immer wieder mit Strom-
Ausfaellen beglueckt und ich keine USV habe und will.
Vielleicht dieses Wochenende oder naechste Woche, oder
so...

Grusz, Jochen...

ReiserFS has some endianness issues on PPC, and therefore does NOT work, but
if you wait a while all will be well (it's being ported right now).
