Niltze, all- Looking over the Soflayer bare metal Power8 systems, I see that Debian's kid, Ubuntu, is the default OS. http://www.softlayer.com/power-servers I was pondering an evaluation trial of Reiser4-enabled Debian on IBM Power8. Up to now I have only successfully tested Reiser4 Software Format Release Number (SFRN) 4.0.1 on AMD64 baremetal, virtualization and cloud. If am allowed to install my own OS, is there any reason why Reiser4 SFRN 4.0.1-enabled Debian should not run on Power8? I assume GPT should be selected whereas previously I have tested -- on AMD64 baremetal and cloud -- only MSDOS disk partitioning.

No, I won't bother you with that. Just gathering some preliminary information prior to efforts at building the PPC Reiser4 UDEB module for my Debian-Installer (d-i) hack. Thank you much for your insight on 'endianness of the system'.

I have tested Reiser4 on 32bit PowerPC several years ago and as far as I remember, mounting and using a preformatted partition (mkfs done on an x86 machine) was possible, but a partition formatted on PowerPC was unusable. I can repeat the tests, if you are interested. -- Jonáš Vidra, vidra.jonas@seznam.cz

Yup. Specifically, bitmap code sucks. I don't remember details though..
