reiserfsprogs should install 'pack' (unpack is present) but I can't find it

[gerard@…]

I mean can't find it installed on my system.

pack and unpack descriptions for when pack is found:

pack

Pack files using Huffman coding.

unpack

Unpack files created by pack.

"debugreiserfs -p is used to pack reiserfs *metadata* from the specified partition. unpack unpacks the data into specified partition or file. This is to help developers to not fsck remotely but to get metadata and to test fsck locally.

The data themselves are skipped of course." -- Vitaly Fertman <vitaly@…>

I think that the links to att above are for different programs which go by the same names.

unpack

Used to unpack reiserfs metadata into a specified partition or file. This helps developers retrieve metadata and test fsck locally.

Added a description for unpack. Pack is part of debugreiserfs. Closing this bug.
