We haven't supported ReiserFS on new installations since Leap 42.1 (Nov 2015) That's almost 2 years ago, which is also 8 years after openSUSE stopped using ReiserFS by default and almost 6 years after the bankruptcy of Namesys, the only organisation backing ReiserFS. It should be no surprise to anyone that all support for ReiserFS will be withdrawn in Leap 15 (2018). It's a long overdue reflection of a simple reality that has been true for almost a decade now. That will mean no supported openSUSE version will support ReiserFS with the end of Leap 42.3 support (expected Jan 31 2019). That will be almost a decade after we started stepping away from ReiserFS - I therefore have little sympathy for any suggestion that this is somehow producing anyone any extra work. But if you still haven't gotten rid of that cursed mess of a filesystem in any of your environments, you still have over another year to find & contribute solutions if the work the YaST team have already done is insufficient for you. - Richard On 19 September 2017 at 13:22, Anton Aylward <opensuse@antonaylward.com> wrote:

If some of the entries in the /etc/fstab file of the system to be upgraded is using ReiserFS, the installer will suggest to convert them to another filesystem type before migrating the system to SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 or openSUSE Leap 15.
A similar blocking error will be reported for ReiserFS root partitions. ....................++-
"Blocking the upgrade". I hope that means only if the root filesystem is reiserfs, but not if a data partition is.
It does rather depend n what they mean by "similar". I take it read that ANY AND ALL ReiserFS will be "suggested" to be converted and an error reported if they are not.
