Re: [opensuse-factory] [PLEASE SPEAK UP] Disabling legacy file systems by default?

SUSE will blacklist a number of legacy and/or less frequently used file systems by default on SLES for security reasons.
The proposed list can be seen here:

The question is now whether we should do the same for openSUSE. I figure that while the above list is probably not controversial for enterprise customers, openSUSE users may have objections to some items on the list. Please speak up if you do.
In any case, note that even if we do this, you can re-enable the filesystems you need by simply commenting out lines in the blacklist file.

sorry, i have no idear how to use the online mailinglistarchiv.
Well providing a link to the archive, or the ID of the message would probably help anybody trying to find that thread, as well as the name of the list.
but im am pretty sure somewhere inside you will find how to enable ;-))

According to the github link, all that was proposed (and perhaps has now happened?) was to block the kernel from automatically loading a module for some little-used filesystems when a USB disk is inserted, to help prevent attacks. That seems a reasonable thing to do as [presumably] one can simply arrange for the relevant module to be loaded in advance, if one wishes to use one of the affected filesystems. Also, I don't see reiserfs in the list, so I'm not sure of the relevance to Daniel's problem? But without some link to the relevant thread, I've no way to check my suppositions.
