Alon Adler asked:
I’m trying to change an existing ext4 partition to reiserFS in Centos 6.3 64bit.
I’ve updated the kernel to Centos Plus:
First, I’ve updated /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
:
-
In the
[centosplus]
section:enabled=1 includepkgs=kernel*
Then I ran yum ypdate
and my Kernel was updated to Centos Plus:
[[email protected] disk]# uname -r
2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64
Then, I’ve added this to /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
-
into the
[centosplus]
section:includepkgs=kernel* jfsutils reiserfs-utils
-
into the
[base]
and[updates]
section:includepkgs=kernel* jfsutils reiserfs-utils
But when trying to execute:
yum install reiserfs-utils
I get:
No package reiserfs-utils available.
How can I install the reiserFS-utils package to create a reiserFS partition?
My answer:
ReiserFS does not appear to be supported at all in RHEL 6 / CentOS 6. No such package exists in the CentOS repositories, nor is filesystem support available in the kernel.
