That's good to hear!
I should have probably been a little more specific in my prior email. That
last 64bit related stuff I could find in the changelogs/mailing lists was
with 2.4.18. There have been some none-Alpha-specific issues since then.
That may sound bad, but if you read the changelogs you will discover that
there have been issues with all the filesystems (there has actually been more
changelog entries associated with ext3 than ReiserFS since 2.4.19).
Thanks! -T
PS: I've attached a list of all the changlog entries dealing with ext3 and
ReiserFS since 2.4.19 (when the 64bit stuff was fixed for ReiserFS) for the
interested.
ReiserFS
- --------
2.4.27:
o [2.4] Make reiserfs not to crash on oom during mount
2.4.23:
o silence warning in reiserfs_ioctl
o Update reiserfs configure help
2.4.22:
o reiserfs: fix some issues with extended inode attributes
o reiserfs: fix savelinks for bigendian arches
o use the right function in reiserfs (resend #3)
o reiserfs: Relocated journal support by Edward Shushkin & Vladimir Saveliev
o reiserfs: speed up large file holes creation
o reiserfs: Make most of the reiserfs warning messages to print what device
they relate to
2.4.21:
o Fix reiserfs options parser, return error if given incorrect options on
remount
o reiserfs: One of the O_DIRECT fixes disabled tail packing by mistake.
Enable it again
o reiserfs: Fix another O_DIRECT vs tails problem. Mostly by Chris Mason
o reiserfs: Refuse to mount/remount if "alloc=" option had incorect
parameter
o reiserfs: iget4() race fix
o reiserfs: Fix recenly introduced journal sanity check that breaks replay
on old filesystems
o reiserfs: Fix for journal replay process, to only replay transactions from
last mount. By Chris Mason
o reiserfs: Fix DIRECT IO interference with tail packing
o reiserfs: iput deadlock fix - do not call iput() from inside of
transaction
o fs_reiserfs_fix_node.c, typo: resourses
2.4.20:
o Do not allow to mount reiserfs with blocksize != 4k
o Remove reiserfs not very well tested code
o Turn on blocks preallocation by default for reiserfs
o reiserfs: Mistakenly forgotten inode attributes option was added back
o reiserfs: Take into account file information even when not doing
preallocation. Fixes a bug with displacing_large_files option
o reiserfs: Fix a problem with delayed unlinks and remounting RW filesystem
RW
o reiserfs: Allow to insert more than one unformatted pointer into the tree
at a time. Use that to speed up hole creation/filling
o Implemented reiserfs_file_write(), to write large amount of data at once
into files on reiserfs volumes which should boost write speed somewhat and
also should be somewhat more SMP friendly
o update reiserfsprogs
o reiserfs_fs.h, namei.c, bitmap.c
o reiserfs_fs.h, namei.c, journal.c
ext3
