I've been running Reiser4 happily on my SuSE 10.0 servers for three months, performance is great and reliability 100%. It's a bit of a step backwards if Reiser4 has been removed from 10.1 :-(

We have no intention of adding reiser4 at this time. We are seriously cutting down on the number of out of tree kernel code we include in our product.
This news is past bad, it's terrible.
No reiser4progs, no reiser4 module, not in 10.1 and not even on the rescue CD!
This means that if you compile your own reiser4 module, any kernel upgrade on a system with a reiser4 root filesystem, will break it so bad, the rescue system won't be able to fix it.
This news is past bad, it's terrible. Effectively it hasn't just excluded reiser4 it's banned it.
We have to work to get this reversed, or worked around. Who wants to help build 10.1 RPMs of: reiser4progs, reiser4mods, and reiser4rescue ?

I reserve the right to judge this, until the box set is out, I would expect it to be included in that.

Thought i even agree with novell proposal to limit out of the tree code, i don't agree to banish it. If it's true, i'm willing to help, at least testing. L.

I've just received my SuSE 10.1 box set and it appears that Reiser4 is NOT included. How come Reiser4 was included in SuSE 10.0 and it's been removed for 10.1? libaal seems to be included, but not reiser4progs. Why??!! Jim
