ReiserFS on FreeBSD
Is it impossible for FreeBSD to have some support for the new revolutionary filesystem from Linux?
This is addressed to the FreeBSD hackers that know what issues are behind the relative filesystems incompatibility between FreeBSD & Linux.
Is it simpler running unmodified Linux binaries in FreeBSD than reading ReiserFS partition (and maybe even writting on them) ?
I keep trying to see the details in source code but I started a few weeks ago to hack into FreeBSD kernel so I'm a newbie (although I have 6 years of hard Linux behind).
Anyway how that FreeBSD 4.10 is compiled with a nonexistent version of GCC (2.95.4)??? Is that another versioning number or just another RedHat-style experiment (theirs was 2.96).
Is this code valid in recent GCC?

Sorry, but please don't post here.
You are only broadcasting to the world how stupid you are =-D
That was an idea (how stupid it was it isn't you to decide)
Please excuse my "stupidity", but I was expressing an idea (stupid or not) and if you cannot stand it, go away.
I work hard to make it something real and even if I will not be able to do it all by myself, I will move things a bit on the right track, I hope.
So keep your sick comments at home.
Reiser4 and FBSD
You cannot read or write Reiser3/Reiser4 filesystems from *BSD.
BSD has a slightly different filesystem framework, and Resier*FS would have to be ported to *BSD first.
Probably it will never happen because the filesystem is a crucial part of a system and the ReiserFS code generally doesn't reach the quality it would need to be accepted anyways...
You can _read_ ext2/3 reliably from FBSD.
Also, GCC 2.95.4 is an existent version of GCC. http://www.google.dk/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=gcc%202.95.4
FBSD-4.10-RELEASE is far from the cutting edge so no wonder they are using an old version of GCC. However, they are not related in any way to RedHat.
FreeBSD & GCC 2.95.4
Google isn't such a reliable source for information after all.
http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html tells me it wasn't ever released.
The last version of gcc2 is gcc-2.95.3 launched on 16 March 2001.
So I have a problem: Where to get its sources as it wasn't released? (That is besides the weird sources from FreeBSD verssioned as 2.95.4 and that couldn't compile the sources of gcc-3.3.1)
I know the architecture is different but if I want to use both Linux and BSD I have to use ext2/3 only for full access to my disk. The compatibility is even better with Win-Linux (FAT32 at least) or Win-BSD. It's strange that 2 open source systems, related as purpose, don't do anything to cooperate. This is what I want from both.
from the fsf cvs. the gcc-2_9
from the fsf cvs. the gcc-2_95-branch has a gcc 2.95.4.
