Hi, |
| 33 |
Using reiserfsprogs-3.6.19 (reiser-3) and also have extended-attributes |
| 34 |
support in kernel-config (reiser-3). |
| 35 |
Haven't checked but think/remember that reiserfs-4 has it's own |
| 36 |
security/encryption things (in filesystem). |
| 37 |
IMO above wiki in for reiserfs-3 only and will work with it. |
| 38 |
Extended-attr. for reiserfs are under reiserfs-config. |
