Reiser FS: The open source file system fallout

My personal opinion based solely on my own experience is that Reiserfs is a good system that is highly reliable, but is likely to disappear mostly because Hans was a social ass. Please be aware that the old reiserfs is mostly maintained outside of Namesys. Only reiserfs4 is likely never going to happen...
Ciao, Marcus From what little I know of the plans, nothing of reiserfs4 interested me. Ext3 was tried on 3 systems here at home, and felt sluggish. It also seemed to cause problems with Zoneminder recording video alarms. New installs on reiser3 cured all problems, so I sure hope it remains a viable system. As mature as it is, I think that should be possible... unless some "clever" programmer starts placing "hooks" into his ap for a specific file system. (Wasn't that part of the plan for the new rfs4?)
Tying an app to a specific filesystem sounds like the road well-paved road of good intentions straight to early obsolescence.
