Reiser4 Update for Linux
-
Believe it or not, Reiser4 isn't quite dead. Some small amount of work on Reiser4 continues. Fingers crossed that the project comes to life again.

Um, I don't know how I really feel about it. Reiser was mediocre file system to begin with, XFS was much better in every possible use case, and still is. If anything, they should rename the damn thing, having a name after murderer is never a good thing.

hmm, you do got a point there. But at the same time I bet that Reiser4 can be shrinked, I was amazed to find out that XFS cannot be shrinked.

Who cares? We have BtfFS and we have some ZFS still.
P.S. Is this guy out of prison already?

Not that I've heard. I think he's got a decade to go or something like that.

ReiserFS was really great at handling massive numbers of tiny files. That was its strong suit. It was good enough that Suse used it by default.
