This contains programs to create (mkreiserfs) and repair
(reiserfsck) reiserfs file system on a block device.
 
Building is simple: say
make


After that you have binaries in bin/.

You can `make install` to copy programs to /sbin
and man pages to /usr/man/man8.


FSCK NOTE:
	With journaling file systems like this one, you don't run
	fsck after the system crashes, you only run it when your
	filesystem is hosed for some reason.  Journaling does not
	eliminate the need for fsck, because hardware can still go
	bad and corrupt the filesystem while leaving you some of
	it intact.

	Reiserfs stores data on disk in a quite complicated manner. 
	As a result reiserfsck is not a simple program. It surely
	still contains bugs. Backup the target partition first.
        If fsck will fail, you will be able to ask us to debug
        it using your backed up copy of the partition in the
        debugging.

	Finally, please be patient, there is so much that an fsck
	ought to be able to do, and Vitaly is working hard at it.
	It will take him several years, but we hope the end result
	will be something that lets you edit the fs in an interactive
	editor such that anything can be recovered, and we want to go
	further with this than any FS has gone before.  This version
	contains just the bare minimum presented without any
	significant opportunity for you	to control it, we regret to say.
