And "grep REISER /boot/config-4.19.0-8-*" shows me that it's still true for buster. Moreover, backported kernel version 5.4.0-0.bpo.3 has the same "CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=m". So, *Debian* kernel has reiserfs support, as of buster. > In Buster, this is set to "# CONFIG_REISERFS_FS is not set" > in /boot/config-5.4.14-sunxi64 (on an pine64). Let me guess - it's an Armbian kernel, right? And this third-party kernel does not have reiserfs support. > How can I enable this in the new config?? I have that feeling that using a Debian kernel is somehow out of question for you. So, you could try building reiserfs as a separate module using kernel headers for this 5.4.14-sunxi64, and a kernel source of the same version with the same patches. Some may consider it a complex procedure, and it will need to be repeated for future kernel versions. > Is it possible to do this without rebuilding the kernel?? That depends if that particular module allows it. As I'm using Debian-provided kernels I did not need to check it until now. Reco
