This is also all YaST-only, and I still find it pretty odd, but it won't prevent anyone continuing to use reiserfs.
it WILL prevent anyone using the installer to upgrade to leap15 if they want to continue using ReiserFS. it looks like there will be no provision in the Leap15 kernel for ReiserFS as a module any more.
Only if it is used on the "/" partition.
ReiserFS never was part of the kernel, it was always a module. If you wanted it in the kernel you had to recompile it yourself. Ditto Reiser4.
But the announcement doesn't say anything about removing the module from the distribution kernel, only from YaST. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
