Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm confused about running Beagle on a Gentoo reiserfs filesystem. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Gentoo provides a HOWTO Beagle (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Beagle) |
| 6 |
and uses a reiserfs filesystem (included extended attributues) as an |
| 7 |
example throughout. However, the Beagle Web site states in its FAQ |
| 8 |
(http://www.beaglewiki.org/FAQ) that Beagle does not support Reiser4S: |
| 9 |
"Reiser4 does not support the standard Linux extended attribute |
| 10 |
interfaces, but instead implements its own. If/when Reiser4 supports |
| 11 |
extended attributes, it will be supported." |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The Gentoo HOWTO wiki explains that a user should enable extended |
| 14 |
attributes for his or her filesystems, and shows how you can do so |
| 15 |
with Ext2. The author of the wiki says you can do the same with |
| 16 |
reiserfs, but I don't recall seeing the option in the kernel (when I |
| 17 |
configured it a couple of weeks ago). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Finally, the Gentoo Wiki author adds the "user_xattr" option to the |
| 20 |
reiserfs entry in fstab. This suggests that reiserfs is supported. The |
| 21 |
fact that the option doesn't appear in the kernel, suggest that it's |
| 22 |
not. And, the fact that the Beagle Web site says reiserfs is not |
| 23 |
support Beagle also suggests that I can run Beagle on an reiserfs |
| 24 |
filesystem. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Any leads, hints, suggestions, solutions, answers? |
