ReiserFS and kernel 2.6 (AMD64)ReiserFS and kernel 2.6 (AMD64)Posted Mar 27, 2004 12:43 UTC (Sat) by rise (guest, #5045)In reply to: ReiserFS and kernel 2.6 (AMD64) by Duncan Parent article: The return of write barriers I'm glad to say my experience with ReiserFS on x86-64 has been flawless so far and I hope that I don't encounter any of the problems you're having. I've run a series of 2.6 kernels with experimental libata versions patched in to support a Silicon Image 3114 SATA RAID contoller, a setup that should have been bleeding edge that's instead been rock stable for me for months. The SiL3114 has only been in use for part of that time, but no problems there either. I'm running SuSE 9.0 for x86-64 and now that they've released a patch CD with kernels supporting my controller I'm running their 2.4 series. Two caveats are that my system rarely runs under heavy load for long sustained periods (though "make -j" on a kernel compile was fun), ALSA is running but unused and I did see what appeared to be a very slow kernel memory leak (yikes) with 2.6 and the very first libata + experimentall SiL3114 support patch combination. Nothing since though and never a hang or crash.

ReiserFS and kernel 2.6 (AMD64) Posted Mar 28, 2004 17:26 UTC (Sun) by Duncan (guest, #6647) [Link] Are you running SMP? I think it might be SMP related as well, and I'm almostsure PART of the problem was i810 ALSA support, when actively playing. I DO know 2.6.5-rc2 has been FAR more stable, tho not perfect. I've been attempting to install Gentoo from a stage-1 compile and not having much luck, but I'm finally getting somewhere now that I have 2.6.5-rc2 installed. As I mentioned, it seems to kernel-freeze MUCH less, now, than with 2.6.4 and earlier (incl. the 2.4 kernels I was on originally). (The problem with the Gentoo install now is that I'm trying to do it a bit more customized than their handbook has instructions for. <g> However, I'm progressing, and I was compiling kernels back b4 I'd fully switched from MSWormOS, while I was still booting back to it to do mail as I hadn't even gotten a Linux mail client set up yet.. So, yes, I'm accustomed to doing it the hard way right off -- but ending up knowing FAR more about the system for it. <g> Anyway, I just found a combination of kernel-sources, glibc, kernel-headers, and nptl, that seem to work, and am rebuilding glibc as I write.. The nptl is the not directly documented in the manual part of THIS bootstrap... <g>) Duncan
