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? Best regards, Rafal.

Describing the filesystem (and its author's) future as "bleak" wouldn't be an understatement IMO. <Insert inappropriate word-plays and connotations here> Is your use-case so extreme that the filesystem actually matters? It's not 2001 anymore.

I don't even know if there is someone in charge for the development. So I think this filesystem will slowly disappear.
