a 20 year olds FS that is obsolete, is gradually removed from the kernel, and your mad?


The point is not that it is old, but that this filesystem was removed from the kernel much earlier than planned.

much? provide proof?

He removed some Russian developers for legal reasons, sanctions, he has to obey the laws of his country.

I may not have expressed it, I wrote wrong because my English knowledge is not very good. This is not my native language.

The point is that Edward Shishkin responded by email, in reference to ReiserFS' designation as "obsolete" in the latest Linux kernel submissions: "What does [obsolete] mean compared to [ext4], Btrfs, XFS? I disagree with that qualification. Do those file systems (as well as the mentioned 'modern options') provide better disk space utilization? Surely NO!" Shishkin added that after ReiserFS was declared deprecated, "admins stated that for some tasks ReiserFS has no alternative."

"They (upstream maintainers) simply don't have resources to maintain ReiserFS. So that 'obsolete' sounds like 'sour grapes,'" Shishkin wrote, linking Wikipedia's summary of The Fox and the Grapes. Shishkin added that ReiserFS' designation will not affect his work on Reiser5, "as the latter is a completely independent project."]


Linux Foundation didn't like murderfs being in the kernel, it goes against the CoC.

P.S.
Before i migrated to FreeBSD, i used Reiser on all my servers, saved my life once a disk got corrupted and I could restore everything using reiser tools.

P.P.S .
Linus Torvalds just merged the change to the Linux 6.13 kernel that goes ahead and deletes the ReiserFS file-system from the source tree.

And? I don't understand your argument.

There is not a feature of ReiserFS that is not better served by today's tools,  right?

It was said it would removed years ago, if no one stepped up to support it, no one did, and it was.
Everything went on exactly as was explained it would, yes?

Or does your emotional attachment to bygone events mean it should stay unmaintained in the kernel?

Perhaps there is something I do not see here. I expect that. But I see no REASON for your complaint. But I support your right to make it.

Moving to BSD is unlikely to make much difference in that respect, given that Berkeley is in California.
I don't personally use Reiser FS, but I suppose if that is a key issue then you would go where it is supported. I use BTRFS, just it's basic features as a copy on write file system, and have found it reliable and resistant to crashes, power outages, disk and corruption issues, so I could recommend that.

I tried to install BTRFS artix, but https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,7545.msg45351.html#msg45351
did you have any issue?

I can't work so I NEET and write shit. I merged qt5ct, qt6ct, qt5gtk2 and qt6gtk2 into one thing, but it's really shitty and I'm thinking about cmake stuff.

Also wrote my own thumbnailer. Tumbler is so shitty - get this, even tho you can "provide" your own plugin/script for processing thumbnails those are reencoded yet again inside it! By f#cking gdk-pixbuf! And saved as huge pngs! I don't know what theyve been smoking, but I kinda need that. My python script and ffmpeg does this way better. Also patched Thunar to support more formats for thumbnails. Can't promise on upstreams or code tho
Ditto.

Be patient my friend, it's all part of the plan to publish it if I'm happy with the code.

No, I'm not. I'm sorry to pretend(?) but I thought it would be polite to reply (using DeepL) accordingly.
Bonjour,
You have no reason to be sorry, your nice answer translated into French made me very happy.
I myself could not participate in this forum without the use of Google Translate. :)
