Hi all -

So, my proposal is: - Remove libreiserfs as a dependency for parted (already submitted, not much to discuss here) - Remove libreiserfs as a dependency for partclone and testdisk. - Remove libreiserfs entirely.
I understand from what you say that this does not affect people using (or even creating) reiserfs filesystems, but only those tools you mention (parted, testdisk, partclone), which any way may be broken in this respect currently.
Yep, except it doesn't actually affect parted. Parted stopped using libreiserfs ten years ago.
I use reiserfs in some of my systems (Leap), but given what you say it doesn't seem I or others would be affected, so, yes, go ahead :-)
(if I wanted to convert a reiserfs to btrfs I would use rsync, not convert in place)
And in either case, btrfs-convert reiserfs support is unaffected by this. It uses the libreiserfscore0 libary.
I suppose it doesn't have any effect on reiserfs4 :-?
Nope. The only thing shared in reiserfs and reiser4 is the name.
Thank you for the information :-) As I said, no objection from a reiserfs user point of view. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
