25 i know this has been said before many many times, but i really can't
26 wait until i can see reiserfs4 in a "stable" kernel (vanilla or
27 gentoo) but i doubt that the gentoo-sources crew is going to budge
28 [whining]please.. USE flag'd reiser4? please pretty please[/whinning]

30 Anyways, I can understand the hesitence for the kernel project to add
31 things that have so many possibilties of problems like reiserfs4..
32
33 But for me its stable enough that I've only had to run reiserfsck
34 once, and that was right after i set it up, and i had a powerloss.. i
35 ended up just mkreiser4'ing and starting over because it was before i
36 even unpacked a stage..
37
38 Anyways, Sorry that this wasnt in gentoo-user,
39 Regards, Andrew
