    <para><application>ReiserFS</application> uses the
    <filename>asm/unaligned.h</filename> Linux header that should
    not be used by applications. While LFS-6.2 provides this header, later
    LFS versions don't do this. Apply the patch to fix the issue:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../reiserfs-&reiser-version;-header_fix-1.patch</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install <application>ReiserFS</application> by running the following

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>
