It has happened often enough, but you're right, it is a problem for large projects. Anyway, there are a few other journaling file systems out there - ReiserFS4 isn't exactly alone.
reiser *was* supported by suse. Surprisingly enough, a file system is *not* a large project, reiser began alone... as did Linus :-))
It is still supported by suse. It is simply not the default filesystem on opensuse.
all the problem is need. is the reiser 4 was so much needed, people would have worked on it, even forking from reiser if necessary.
but when suse stopped supporting reiser, I understood reiserfs had some problems, reiser 4 was due much before the reiser personal problems and never went out, probably for some good reason (I'mnot able to understand)
R4 is quite ambitious. It is plugin based, for instance. One of the goals is to store database objects directly on the filesystem, instead of having a complex database engine storing small chunks in a very large file or even a raw partition. Can you imagine the nightmare of a filesystem check/repair with plugins in the way? Perhaps such an advance needs a genius behind. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
