ReiserFS Support (Read-only for now)

[d11wtq]

I'm just looking at what BSD are doing to port ReiserFS support to BSD. The source is extremely small so I'm hoping that it can be ported to OS X. I for one have a few Linux drives which I cannot read from within OSx86 so this is something I'm desparate for.

 

I'll have a stab at the myself but I'm not a C developer, although I can do little bits so it may take me a long time and be scrappy/wrong.

 

I have the docs from developer.apple about porting *UNIX* apps to OS X (yes, yes I know) so I'm hoping most of the principles still apply to BSD.

 

The required source (unless I'm wrong), is:

If anyone wants to help me out, or wants to tell me I'm going about this all wrong do so please

 

Thanks,

*Yawn*

 

I'm going to bed cos I'm really tired but I've worked on this a bit tonight. The code I posted above is a little old and the include is the wrong one Got the newer ones now though. Had to do a bit of hacking at the code just to get the thing to compile with gcc ... I keep getting undefined symbol errors from the linker even though, as far as I can see, they're defined fine. From what I've read on Google this happens a lot when porting apps to OS X and people have worked around it by passing various flags to gcc. When I run it with "-undefined define_a_way" I get an executable out OK... it runs but whatever options I seem to pass to it I just get "Bus Error". I'll pick this up tomorrow.

It would be great if you or someone can get this to work with R/W. So then we can format our spare disk or partition in ReiserFS. Windows has an application that will mount this type of fs so this would aliminate the 4gig size limit using Fat.

[crazyJAT]

Been almost a year. Any progress here?

[AiFiLTr0]

Any progress?

[webs]

I work on it

 

I have just one problem with the nmount(), wich is not in Mac OS X.

 

more soon

[OoOoOoO]

maybe it's will be easy to make fuse driver?

as example - ext2fuse

[webs]

Hmm, why not. I will look how to make a Fuse driver:)

[Corwin06]

Bump! Any news? I'm going to need to buy a new HD just to move data around without a ReiserFS driver. Maybe I can help?

[albertz]

I am just curious, what is the state here?

[DVSoftware]

Since i could not find working reiserfs driver for osx, i used minimalistic linux distribution (arch in my case) in vmware, mounted my reiserfs external disks in it, and shared them via samba to osx host. Now i'm able to use my files from reiserfs disks...
