[lug] Reiserfs + stock kernel?

[John Karns]

Two or three months ago I took a look at the reiserfs web site in an
effort to find the kernel patches necessary to implement the file system.  
I found some patch files, but it wasn't clear to me weather they were
kernel patches.  They looked a little more like patches to the reiserfs
source.  I briefly looked for some implementation info, but didn't see
any.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

I recently obtained SuSE ver. 7 which includes it, but they distribute
their own modified kernel (2.2.16).  However 2.2.16 is incompatible with
VMWare, and I would prefer to use a stock kernel anyway.
