I see that now. Here's what threw me (on Ubuntu): |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
alan@alanm:~$ cat /boot/ubuntu/config-2.6.15-25-386 | grep -i reiser |
| 27 |
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=m |
| 28 |
# CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set |
| 29 |
# CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set |
| 30 |
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR=y |
| 31 |
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y |
| 32 |
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_SECURITY=y |
| 33 |
