I think you misread me. I'm interested in ext4, and disappointed in |
| 16 |
NameSys' |
| 17 |
handling of reiser4. I love the *idea* of reiser4, but being able the |
| 18 |
resize |
| 19 |
the filesystem is *mandatory* for my setup, and I don't get that with |
| 20 |
reiser4. However, forward movement on a resizer (and other, currently |
| 21 |
vaporware, filesystem features/utilties) had been completely abandoned to |
| 22 |
the |
| 23 |
effort of getting reiser4 mainlined, well before Hans' legal troubles |
| 24 |
started. I feel this was/is a mistake; I have no problem running |
| 25 |
mm-sources |
| 26 |
when it has a feature I desire. But with the filesystem as it is I can't |
| 27 |
actually use it for more than testing. |

I've heard some (but not enough) about ext4 and it seems promising. I'm |
| 30 |
keeping my eye on it, and will probably throw some "production" data on it |
| 31 |
before it's mainlined. |
