I asked:
Who is the best person to ask my kernel question, or is the discussion archived online somewhere? I'd like to understand the reasoning.
Jiri replied: I checked the current status. At the moment we do not build the reiserfs module at all.
From Leap423:
test99:~ # modinfo reiserfs filename: /lib/modules/4.4.71-1-default/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko
Same for Tumbleweed. As far as I can tell, it is still built on SLE15 as well. I /think/ that it was meant that module was marked as not-supported on SLE15

- supported.conf: mark reiserfs unsupported (FATE#323394). ReiserFS is not supported in SLE15. ReiserFS file systems must be transferred or converted before installing. - commit 5f3f041
and such modules "are included in an extra RPM package (kernel-FLAVOR-extra) and will not be loaded by default (FLAVOR=default|xen|...) ... and the kernel-FLAVOR-extra package is not part of the SUSE Linux Enterprise media" (from current SLE documentation). This makes it effectively not available by default on SLE. I do not think this policy also applies to openSUSE. For a start, there is no kernel-default-extra package at all.
FWIW, I think we should just leave reiserfs available for anyone who wants to use it. I can certainly accept it's not available/supported in YaST, but otherwise people should be free to use if they so chose. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.4°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
