openSuse 15 will no longer support ReiserFS. This isn't a passive move, as in "no continued support, no further fixes", but is an active move. If you have any ReiserFS partitions then they will be forcibly converted to another file system whether you want that to happen or not.
That doesn't seem to quite correspond to this article/blog:
+++.................... Remove support for ReiserFS
The support of new installations with ReiserFS was removed from YaST in SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 and openSUSE Leap 42 but upgrades were still supported.
With SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 and Leap 15 the support of ReiserFS will be completely removed from YaST and the installer will block the upgrade of systems formatted with ReiserFS.
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.
I hope your are right but I'm not so optimistic. Why can't the install/upgrade occur on reiserfs? Especially if the file system is already there. The only reason can be that the system can not handle it anymore. Maybe not Leap 15 but the following release. Or else it would be nonsense. If it only was yast and the drivers would be kept, the file system wouldn't matter at all, would it?
