Current Debian Trixie packaging for Dracut is version 106-6 and I took that source, modified a couple of files by adding reiser4 on relevant lines; the initrd.img- it produced booted my reiser4 -formatted root '/' partitions on the very first try. On the other hand, I have expended much time but not had any luck with initramfs-tools- v0.146+, v0.148, nor v0.150 (this last suggested/required by report-bug prior to submitting bug report), which introduce and carry on that hybrid commit of reference -- unless, of course, I strip away that commit which caused the regression. The trivial reiser4 SFRN 4.0.2 patch for Dracut is attached in case it may be useful to anyone struggling with hybrid initramfs-tools- and an 'unsupported' file system. -- Best Professional Regards. -- Jose R R http://metztli.it --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download Metztli Reiser4: Debian Trixie w/ Linux 5.17.14-2 AMD64 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- feats ZSTD compression https://sf.net/projects/metztli-reiser4/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Official current Reiser4 resources: https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/ --=_df5cdcc9d5a2d390d78aac27c34451cf Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type: text/x-diff; name=metztli-GCC14-reiser4-enabling-dracut-106.patch Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=metztli-GCC14-reiser4-enabling-dracut-106.patch; size=2073 RnJvbSBiMzg2OTA2ZDUyMDhhN2U0NWZkMWVmMzY5YmVjMjQ2ZDkwYTA5OGJjIE1vbiBTZXAgMTcg MDA6MDA6MDAgMjAwMQpGcm9tOiBNZXR6dGxpIEluZm9ybWF0aW9uIFRlY2hub2xvZ3kgPGpvc2VA bWV0enRsaS5pdD4KRGF0ZTogU3VuLCA3IFNlcCAyMDI1IDA1OjIxOjE3IC0wNzAwClN1YmplY3Q6 IFtQQVRDSF0gSWMgb21lIChTZWNvbmQpIGNvbW1pdCBSZWlzZXI0IFNvZndhcmUgRm9ybWF0IFJl bGVhc2UgTnVtYmVyCiAoU0ZSTikgNC4wLjIgLWVuYWJsaW5nIGRyYWN1dC0xMDYKCi0tLQogbW9k dWxlcy5kLzk5ZnMtbGliL2ZzLWxpYi5zaCAgICAgICB8IDUgKysrKysKIG1vZHVsZXMuZC85OWZz LWxpYi9tb2R1bGUtc2V0dXAuc2ggfCA4ICsrKysrKystCiAyIGZpbGVzIGNoYW5nZWQsIDEyIGlu c2VydGlvbnMoKyksIDEgZGVsZXRpb24oLSkKCmRpZmYgLS1naXQgYS9tb2R1bGVzLmQvOTlmcy1s aWIvZnMtbGliLnNoIGIvbW9kdWxlcy5kLzk5ZnMtbGliL2ZzLWxpYi5zaAppbmRleCBlMTFmM2Mx Li5hYmZlNzE4IDEwMDc1NQotLS0gYS9tb2R1bGVzLmQvOTlmcy1saWIvZnMtbGliLnNoCisrKyBi L21vZHVsZXMuZC85OWZzLWxpYi9mcy1saWIuc2gKQEAgLTU3LDYgKzU3LDExIEBAIGZzY2tfYWJs ZSgpIHsKICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAmJiBfZHJ2PSJmc2NrX2Rydl9jb20gamZzX2ZzY2siIFwK ICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAmJiByZXR1cm4gMAogICAgICAgICAgICAgOzsKKyAgICAgICAgcmVp c2VyNCkKKyAgICAgICAgICAgIHR5cGUgZnNjay5yZWlzZXI0ID4gL2Rldi9udWxsIDI+JjEgXAor ICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICYmIF9kcnY9ImZzY2tfZHJ2X2NvbSBmc2NrLnJlaXNlcjQiIFwKKyAg ICAgICAgICAgICAgICAmJiByZXR1cm4gMAorICAgICAgICAgICAgOzsKICAgICAgICAgYnRyZnMp CiAgICAgICAgICAgICAjIHR5cGUgYnRyZnNjayA+L2Rldi9udWxsIDI+JjEgJiYKICAgICAgICAg ICAgICMgX2Rydj0iX2Rydj1ub25lIGZzY2tfZHJ2X2J0cmZzIiAmJgpkaWZmIC0tZ2l0IGEvbW9k dWxlcy5kLzk5ZnMtbGliL21vZHVsZS1zZXR1cC5zaCBiL21vZHVsZXMuZC85OWZzLWxpYi9tb2R1 bGUtc2V0dXAuc2gKaW5kZXggMGU2MTFhMi4uOWFiM2UzNCAxMDA3NTUKLS0tIGEvbW9kdWxlcy5k Lzk5ZnMtbGliL21vZHVsZS1zZXR1cC5zaAorKysgYi9tb2R1bGVzLmQvOTlmcy1saWIvbW9kdWxl LXNldHVwLnNoCkBAIC0xMiw2ICsxMiw5IEBAIGVjaG9fZnNfaGVscGVyKCkgewogICAgICAgICBq ZnMpCiAgICAgICAgICAgICBlY2hvIC1uICIgamZzX2ZzY2sgIgogICAgICAgICAgICAgOzsKKyAg ICAgICAgcmVpc2VyNCkKKyAgICAgICAgICAgIGVjaG8gLW4gIiBmc2NrLnJlaXNlcjQgIgorICAg ICAgICAgICAgOzsKICAgICAgICAgYnRyZnMpCiAgICAgICAgICAgICBlY2hvIC1uICIgYnRyZnNj ayAiCiAgICAgICAgICAgICA7OwpAQCAtMjcsNiArMzAsOSBAQCBpbmNsdWRlX2ZzX2hlbHBlcl9t b2R1bGVzKCkgewogICAgICAgICB4ZnMgfCBidHJmcyB8IGV4dDQgfCBleHQzKQogICAgICAgICAg ICAgaW5zdG1vZHMgY3JjMzJjCiAgICAgICAgICAgICA7OworICAgICAgICByZWlzZXI0KQorICAg ICAgICAgICAgaW5zdG1vZHMgY3JjMzJjX2ludGVsIHJlaXNlcjQKKyAgICAgICAgICAgIDs7CiAg ICAgICAgIGYyZnMpCiAgICAgICAgICAgICBpbnN0bW9kcyBjcmMzMgogICAgICAgICAgICAgOzsK QEAgLTU3LDcgKzYzLDcgQEAgaW5zdGFsbCgpIHsKICAgICAgICAgX2hlbHBlcnM9KAogICAgICAg ICAgICAgL3NiaW4vZnNjayogL3Vzci9zYmluL2ZzY2sqCiAgICAgICAgICAgICB4ZnNfZGIgeGZz X2NoZWNrIHhmc19yZXBhaXIgeGZzX21ldGFkdW1wCi0gICAgICAgICAgICBlMmZzY2sgamZzX2Zz Y2sgYnRyZnNjaworICAgICAgICAgICAgZTJmc2NrIGpmc19mc2NrIGZzY2sucmVpc2VyNCBidHJm c2NrCiAgICAgICAgICkKICAgICAgICAgaWYgW1sgJGhvc3Rvbmx5IF1dOyB0aGVuCiAgICAgICAg ICAgICByZWFkIC1yIC1hIF9oZWxwZXJzIDwgPChmb3JfZWFjaF9ob3N0X2Rldl9mcyBlY2hvX2Zz X2hlbHBlcikKLS0gCjIuNDcuMgoK --=_df5cdcc9d5a2d390d78aac27c34451cf--
