As I understand it, the main arguments against reiser4 are that it |
| 9 |
duplicates a ton of code in the VFS (Virtual File System) which |
| 10 |
underpins all other file systems (ext2/3/4, xfs, jfs, etc) and most |
| 11 |
developers think the reiser4 parts ought to be in the VFS, or at least |
| 12 |
not fighting it. Hans doesn't believe that, or professes to believe |
| 13 |
that is merely stalling tactics, and would rather throw hissy fits |
| 14 |
than actually discuss it reasonably. But I don't write kernel code, |
| 15 |
so this is only what I recall from lwn.net reports. |
