I am working on this issue right now .... in the meantime, I think you can use the old kernel (2.6.9-11 unsupported)from the centosplus repository.

Same problem here, I've asked this question before but not had an answer - I haven't been able to find an answer on the web either.

I guess this one of the reasons there hasn't been a 2.6.9-22 unsupported yet.

Hi,

I tried to compile the 2.6.9-22.EL kernel with reiserfs enabled. make fails as follows. anyone managed to compile with reiserfs successfully?

I don't use reiserfs - but having a quick look at the 2.6.9-22 kernel source ...

It looks like RedHat patched the reiserfs source to change 'struct key' to 'struct reiserfs_key' (Patch2503) - I guess to prevent name conflicts with the 'Key management patches' (from the spec file).

However, it looks like they missed a couple ... not surprising as they don't support reiserfs, so they don't hit this problem.

The attached patch seems to allow it to compile - although not tested.

Thanks, I'll give this a go later today.

Since this is already an upsupported kernel, I have no problem fixing problems in it. We are also looking at rolling in a little more stable XFS code from SGI into centosplus for CentOS-4 soon as well.
