Those of you successfully running reiser4, which kernel patch set do you use ?

I usually patch vanilla, but Namesys is behind on the vanilla port, so I'm running mm.

EDIT: I could use the mm patches on vanilla, but I had some random lockups that may or may not have been due to botched patching. 2.6.11-mm2 seems stable.

Currently 2.6.11-mm1, but I'll upgrade to mm2 as soon as the dust has settled (and I can be sure it won't annihilate the entire neighbourhood)

Might as well edit out the poll since polls are a :nono: here. ;)

I'm using the latest ck kernel here but I haven't patched it for reiser4 yet. I thought namesys was suppose to have a 2.6.11 patch out last week?

I use Nitro-sources, but the WiFi (IPW2200) doesn't compile, so i have to watch out for an CK patched Reiser4 kernel that works with IPW2200, mm-sources doesn't compile with the last version, and love-sources aren't stable enough for me, so .....

I like performance and no useless shit in a kernel. The only problem is there is no (single tarred) file to patch for Reiser4 :S

You can extract Reiser4 patch from mm. Andrew Morton offers
directory "broken-out" in which there are single patches which
mm-patch consists of.

The latest reiser4 patch should apply cleanly against 2.6.11-ck* now, the hunks that were failing have been removed from the patch.
ftp://www.namesys.com/pub/reiser4-for-2.6/2.6.11
broken-out.2 Doesn't have the scheduler patches and that's all that had issues with ck. There's another thread that has some details on how i fixed up the scheduler patches from broken-out.1 but .2 should patch cleanly to ck just patch in the order listed in the serie file, and -3 which is out now is one big patch so you could try it too.

for broken-out.2

reiser4-sb_sync_inodes.patch
reiser4-allow-drop_inode-implementation.patch
reiser4-truncate_inode_pages_range.patch
reiser4-export-remove_from_page_cache.patch
reiser4-export-page_cache_readahead.patch
reiser4-reget-page-mapping.patch
reiser4-rcu-barrier.patch

reiser4-export-radix_tree_preload.patch
reiser4-export-find_get_pages.patch
reiser4-radix_tree_lookup_slot.patch
reiser4-include-reiser4.patch
reiser4-doc.patch
reiser4-only.patch
reiser4-kconfig-help-cleanup.patch
reiser4-mapping-tree-lock-fix.patch
reiser4-mapping_cap_account_dirty-fix.patch


But I'd just use .3 since it's out and it's one big patch.

Nitro or Morph seem to give me the best performance. For some reason Love-Sources couldnt recongnize the reiser4 root and /home partition correctly.

nitro-sources since love-sources didn't work stable on my machine (hard looks every few hours).

usually running morph-source and have nitro on the system as well.. Have reiser4 on root and home partitions and it's running pretty stable and extremly fast there (has anyone compared time for the portage cash update after a sync? I think it takes about half of the the time now).
There is a reiser4 enabled boot CD witch comes around very pretty at http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Reiser4_Enabled_Live_CD !
