This is on purpose. Reiserfs is not stable yet, and enabling debugging will catch filesystemcorruption before you totally loose all your data. not stable by who'se definition? There's a reason it's the only JFS in the 2.4 kernel. It's been around for years, and is the only production level JFS in availalbe for linux. Maybe a patch is in order to produce two versions of the module - one with debug and one without. Until recently, about 1 corruptor bug was found in reiserfs about every 2 weeks. Also, and more importantly, the fsck for reiserfs was not very good at the time we released 7.1. "Been around for years" isn't completely honest; the 2.2 version is very very different from the 2.4 one. I'm not saying this to indicate the reiserfs people did a bad job, they didn't. However at the time of the 7.1 release reiserfs just wasn't ready. And even current reiserfs has significant issues (doesn't work on big-endian machines, doesn't work on 64 bit machines) |
