reiser4 was denied for 'layer violation'. |
| 34 |
btrfs violates those layers even more. |

I do no know btrfs. But there are two nice things about reiser4: |
| 37 |
it takes your data seriously. It tries everything to make sure your data hit |
| 38 |
the platter. Device does not support barriers? Reiser4 detects that and goes |
| 39 |
into sync mode. |
| 40 |
Second, reiser4 is really, really really fast (except mounting). |
