(re: Killing ReiserFS) I have been following this thread with some interest because of having been running ReiserFS since before he turned homicidal. I have had zero, count that ZERO, problems in all that time so I read with some dismay the effort to actively kill its usage in this whatever-you-call-it distro.
I think that the more relevant question to ask is not "can we keep this file system around, pretty please" but "what distros are allowing its use by not actively trying to kill it"? I have used opensuse since before Mandrake went away, which has been a while and, although I don't really want to change distros, I am not married to suse (or leap, or whatever).
I feel that what we have here with opensuse/leap is an example of the classic "swing" cartoon which shows the stages of project development from sales, engineering, installation and what the customer actually wanted. My need is not as complex as some and for that ReiserFS works quite well.
So, my question remains, "If not suse/leap, then who"?
Hopefully someone will know what distros allow the freedom to use whichever FS one wishes without running afoul of the FS nazis.
Well, I have to answer today that Leap 15.0 handles reiserfs just fine :-))) I have it on a data partition listed on fstab, no problem. New install (for testing). YaST did not complain when told to mount an existing reiserfs partition for data. I have not tested upgrading with home on reiserfs, though, which is an issue for me on this laptop. I would then have to repartition and migrate files, and create a small new partition as reiserfs for some uses. Not a big issue. Thank you to all the people that made this possible :-))) -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.
