If you want reiser4 included into mainline, do something. Like download
a patch and try to use it.
Alright...
Last time I tried, it didn't work. Kernel locked up. Namesys was quick
with fix for the lockup, but then "ls ." failed to work. I sent all
the data (kernel version, fs image, etc) to Namesys but after several
email iterations it died out with no resolution.
When was "last time"?
I will try again sometime. Maybe it got better.
I have three boxes running Reiser4 for everything except /boot, and no
problems yet, except an occasional missing feature, like a
repacker/resizer. One's a Pentium 3, the other two are amd64s.
I've had a total of one crash each on the amd64s, and one of those was
while playing a game, and could easily have been the nvidia drivers. I
can't reproduce the other one, and the box has been fine since -- and
both amd64s are overclocked by 600 mhz, so I have a sneaking suspicion
that it might have been hardware.
No crashes yet on the Pentium 3, which isn't overclocked at all.
No lost data yet either, in fact, I recovered from an essential 'rm -rf'
of a Reiser4 partition, so I could even say Reiser4 (or rather,
fsck.reiser4) has *found* data for me.
For a long time, it's been painfully obvious that the reasons Reiser4
isn't in the kernel all have to do with things like coding style and
politics. At this point, if I tried to do anything more than be an
active user, I'd be so far out of my depth I'd need a life jacket.
