Re: Debian cloud reiser4-patched kernel 3.19.8 [EOL] instance
Niltze, all (again ;-)
I have made public a Google Compute Engine (GCE) archive with a Debian
8 Jessie AMD64 running a Reiser4-patched Linux kernel 3.19.8 EOL:
< http://storage.googleapis.com/ome-teotl-caxitl/metztli_it_jessie_reiser4_mixtli_gce_1.tar.gz
>
If you have a GCE account and you want to give the image a spin (I
welcome feedback ;-) , you can can create your image from that source
archive thus (assuming you have the SDK):
gcloud compute images create [metztli-it-jessie-reiser4-amd64-gce-1]
--source-uri gs://ome-teotl-caxitl/metztli_it_jessie_reiser4_mixtli_gce_1.tar.gz
Note that you may provide an alternate [name] within the brackets
above for your image; my suggestion is only to have a descriptive name
for you to remember what is it. And please *do not* include the
brackets ;-) in the command.
Subsequently you can create your first instance from the image named
above as follows:
gcloud compute instances create [your-instance-name] --image
metztli-it-jessie-reiser4-amd64-gce-1 --machine-type [f1-micro ||
g1-small] --zone [*]
where you select either f1-micro (approximately 600MB RAM
OR g1-small
For additional machine types, type:
gcloud compute machine-types list
...
n1-standard-1 us-central1-f 1 3.75 <-(this is the default if no
machine-type is specified)
n1-standard-16 us-central1-f 16 60.00
n1-standard-2 us-central1-f 2 7.50
n1-standard-32 us-central1-f 32 120.00
n1-standard-4 us-central1-f 4 15.00
n1-standard-8 us-central1-f 8 30.00
but please do not include the brackets.
Additionally replace [*] with your preferred zone as listed by command:
gcloud compute zones list
NAME REGION STATUS NEXT_MAINTENANCE TURNDOWN_DATE
asia-east1-c asia-east1 UP
asia-east1-b asia-east1 UP
asia-east1-a asia-east1 UP
europe-west1-d europe-west1 UP
europe-west1-b europe-west1 UP
europe-west1-c europe-west1 UP
us-central1-f us-central1 UP
us-central1-b us-central1 UP
us-central1-c us-central1 UP
us-central1-a us-central1 UP
Subsequently login into your newly created GCE Debian 8 AMD64 Reiser4 root fs:
gcloud compute ssh [your-instance-name] --zone [your selected zone]
performing an df -hT you will see that your /boot partition is ext2
and your / partition is reiser4 fs :)

Enjoy!
Best Professional Regards.
