Well that and I was being quite facetious. I mean, to be honest, I used resier3 for a while on my gentoo box, thought it was nice... but unless reiserfs ever gets put in say, the defaults for redhat/fedoria/ubuntu grabbing traction is going to be really really hard. And now with the lead developer who (can I say) killed his wife... Also all the dev's on ext3/4 and it's great stability and general all around awesomeness I don't see reiser filling a need. ~Ben On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 5:57 PM, Mark J.
