Allow creation of reiser4 file systems on Linux 3.x (#742511)
With reiser4progs 1.0.7 and earlier mkfs specifically checks for Linux kernel 2.5 or 2.6. On Linux 3.x it fails with the following warning: # mkfs.reiser4 --yes --label "" /dev/sdb1 Warn : Linux 3.13.0-39-generic is detected. Reiser4 does not support such a platform. Use -f to force over. # echo $? 8 This is fixed in reiser4progs 1.0.8 and later. From the reiser4progs SourceForce README.txt: . Do not ask for confirmation to work under Linux-3.X; Found on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS both with reiser4progs 1.0.7 and a Linux 3.x kernel. Fix by adding "--force" flag to the mkfs command line. Bug 742511 - Creation of reiser4 file systems fails with unsupported warning
