Hi All.

What is the status of ReiserFS in CentOS at the moment? I have some servers which use it as a loadable kernel module. I am thinking about a filesystem for database systems and would like to know if ReiserFS will be maintained in CentOS/Linux kernel in the future?

The author and primary developer of the filesystem has some legal troubles and does not have an internet-connection at the moment, AFAIK. Describing the filesystem (and its author's) future as "bleak" wouldn't be an understatement IMO.

Is your use-case so extreme that the filesystem actually matters? It's not 2001 anymore.
