    Well, he put his brand name on it and now his brand name is synonymous with murder.

    Does he know we have ext4 and lvm now ?

    What did reiserfs have that we don’t have in lvm or btrfs ?

      It had a bunch of features that weren’t in ext3, which was generally standard at the time, depending on how conservative your distro was.

        It is still a cool thing, from reading about it. Could have some advantages of ZFS without performance penalties and complexity, if the project wouldn’t die.

        EDIT: Oh, there’s Reiser5 .
