While BtrFS _could_ have been a replacement for ReiserFS and a 'nicer' version of XFS, the developers went overboard and decided to do a "One File System to rule all storage" approach. Integrate all of what LVM does but without actually partitioning. Have a many other features that annoy people who don't understand it and are only relevant for server class machines and irrelevant to embedded systems or many workstations.
Resiser4 is available for kernel 4.13, which is the latest I have from repository kernel_stable. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Reiser4-Linux-4.13 Why can't openSuse work that in, after all, there is a developer/group working on it. Could there be one for openSuse?
I'm not sure what you are suggesting as a universal file system.
He refers to the move to do it all with btrfs on openSUSE. Internal raid, internal encryption, features similar to LVM also internal.... Anton is not suggesting that move, on the contrary. Others are doing that move, in fact. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
