Isn't JFS available in 10.3 - just with a big warning that it's untested?
The new kernel for Opensuse 11 has support for ReiserFS4?
What is about the support of ReiserFS4 as default file system in Opensuse 11?
I have now in my system (workstation) ext3, and from time to time when it executes the automatic fsck (60 days), it takes about 40 minutes for a hard disk of 250 GB, and in many of this cases, I hate only 30 minutes to see the emails and go out. With ReiserFS3, I not hate those problems to wait for use the workstation 30 or 40 minutes, as with ext3 happens.
I love the solidity of ext3. If it does check (wasting your time), you have a far better chance to "survive" against the others.
Two years ago are some people using Reiser4 without problems, and with true better perfomance compared to ext3: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/16/148
But they are some Linux kernel saboteurs: http://linuxhelp.150m.com/jews/saboteurs.htm
A simple guide to include Reiser4: http://linuxhelp.150m.com/installs/compile-kernel.htm
We need support to be able to sleep at night.
Well, with this argument, do'nt include new features, do'nt build a new kernel version and do'nt build a new Opensuse version. Simply fix the bugs.
No, you have damaged you head because the wall is harder. "Inclusion into distro" and "offering as a feature" are separate things. The openSUSE project can't serve as the healing authority for all the unmaintained/incomplete fragments which are flying around with a GPL license.
