it looks like there will be no provision in the Leap15 kernel for ReiserFS as a module any more.
I don't see that mentioned anywhere. It's also difficult to see why we should go to the length of changing the kernel build config to exclude a module just because we don't want to support that file system.
I agree, but that seems to be the implication if it steps through the /etc/fstab forcing you to change all the ReiserFS to something else. Why do that unless the ReiserFS module has been pulled?
ReiserFS never was part of the kernel, it was always a module. Uh, gazillions of things are "part of the kernel", as modules.
Precisely. And John's argument that its old is pretty meaningless when you look at some of those others.
If you wanted it in the kernel you had to recompile it yourself. If "in the kernel" means "not as a module", you are right. Same applies to most of the other file systems and drivers.
Right now, it seems the only one hard compiled in is ext4FS. I look that the modules for my 42.2/4.2.13 and btrfs is there. It's not compiled in.
Whooosh! I never made that argument. It was a jab at Brown's denigration of Reiserfs simply because it's mature and needs no maintenance. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
