Subject: reiserfs 3.5.11 released, lightly tested, includes resize_reiserfs 

The resizer is missing such things as a man page, and its usage instructions
don't document all options, but it seems to work....., everyone here in
Pereslavl gave it a try.....

It changes the disk format on you:-(..... but if it tests well today and
tomorrow, maybe it or a 3.5.12 can make it to the SuSE website in time for the
6.3 release on December 1.....

Heinz, please coordinate with zam about LVM integration, zam is the author of
the resizer.

This release also fixes the creating files in a deleted directory bug, but we
still haven't had a chance to run the Chris Sturgess crash reiserfs script.
(Will do before 3.5.12)

We now leave 64k of space unused at the start of reiserfs.

Can folks who get a chance to please try to stress this version?

Shrinking and online resizing are the next tasks for zam....    He did this
resizer code in 11 days..... a great job!....

Thanks to all,

Hans
