Hi there,

on kernel.org there's still no official reiser4-patch for 2.6.29 available:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/edward/reiser4/reiser4-for-2.6/

Does anyone know something about that. Is the patch of the zen-sources or mm-sources suitable?

looking at the prev dates, e.g. patch for 2.6.28, that took about two weeks. patience is a virtue

Helium Sources is using Reiser4 from mm-sources:

Beware, it has had only minimal testing:

Here is it!

Its the 2.6.28 patch from edward section in kernel.org + some fixes for 2.6.29 compatibility. I use it for my 3 Reiser4 partitions with cryptocompress plugins.

Beware : I juste tested it on 5 different computers.
PS : USE the ~ version of sys-fs/reiser4progs (1.0.7). Especially if you use cryptocompress plugins. This version fixed a bug in fsck (segfault) corrupting your partition after a big system crash. (This was reversible and the fsck 1.0.7 fixed my fs)
