Never heard of this, lemme google it. Aah cool Wikipedia!

implemented by a team at Namesys led by Hans Reiser... Namesys considered ReiserFS stable and feature-complete and ceased development on it to concentrate on its successor, Reiser4...

Oh cool, Reiser4 will be great!

Namesys went out of business in 2008 after Reiser's conviction for murder.

Hans Reiser's entire Wikipedia entry is wild!.

Yeah there's a reason why people started calling it MurderFS

[โ€“] kippinitreal@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Lmao really? TIL haha. At the name, not the murder.

I remember when it was the hot thing to have for /home .

Until it blew up and you realized it's not that hot.

Yeah. It's essential that filesystems are actively supported, as they're so core to the operation of the computer. ReiserFS isn't supported, and in addition is built on unscaleable ideas, the behaviour of fsck is unjustifiable, and requiring a reformat to upgrade is unacceptable. Use ext3/4 for performance, BtrFS for the journaling properties and checksumming, or ZFS for cluster availability instead.

Very sad that the murderously good file system is no more...

Sorry I had to.
