On the odd chance that I was ignored for possibly hijacking a thread, I shall start a new one but copy and paste my comments in hope of an answer:
(re: Killing ReiserFS) I have been following this thread with some interest because of having been running ReiserFS since before he turned homicidal. I have had zero, count that ZERO, problems in all that time so I read with some dismay the effort to actively kill its usage in this whatever-you-call-it distro. This may change with time as for every unmaintained or badly maintained code. I think that the more relevant question to ask is not "can we keep this file system around, pretty please" but "what distros are allowing its use by not actively trying to kill it"? I have used opensuse since before Mandrake went away, which has been a while and, although I don't really want to change distros, I am not married to suse (or leap, or whatever). But it looks like you are married with ReiserFS... ;-) I feel that what we have here with opensuse/leap is an example of the classic "swing" cartoon which shows the stages of project development from sales, engineering, installation and what the customer actually wanted. My need is not as complex as some and for that ReiserFS works quite well. If your needs aren't complex, other file system shall work for you, too. ReiserFS can be considered dead. So, my question remains, "If not suse/leap, then who"?
Hopefully someone will know what distros allow the freedom to use whichever FS one wishes without running afoul of the FS nazis.
The problem aren't the ones building the distro. If ReiserFS would been maintained, nobody would think about dropping it. Even if you find another distro wiht ReiserFS included, it's only a matter of time, until you write the same main on another mailing list.
