Same here. When I built my current rig several years ago, I switched to |
| 21 |
ext4 from reiserfs myself. At the time, there was very little |
| 22 |
development and its future was uncertain since the guy that came up with |
| 23 |
it was shall we say, no longer available. I haven't looked into it but |
| 24 |
is it even maintained like it should be or just sitting out there with |
| 25 |
the occasional patch up by whoever has a few minutes? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If I were building a new rig today, I don't think I'd even consider |
| 28 |
reiserfs. |
