Bye bye! 👋
Dani@kernellogger Not long ago I listened to a Corecursive podcast episode about the story behind Hans Reiser, worth listening!
Surya Teja K@kernellogger Good. Next do BCacheFS.
Máňa Zalabák@shanmukhateja @kernellogger yup, let's focus now on people killing their own credibility instead of human beings
Christian M. Grube 🐧Everything could have gone better.
I think that was back in the ext3 days when SuSE made it the standard.
SUSE Pre 7.0 I think it was.
Well then.
We then had ext2 with journaling, ext3, then came ext4 and now there is a nice selection.
But I still wonder what could have become of ReiseFS
@Seraphyn it's the usual I'd say:
it's not necessary the best technique that makes it, as a lot of other factors (developer interaction, good or bad public opinion due to real or neglectable aspects, a ton of others things) matter as well.
Jani NikulaI wonder if anyone else still remembers Everybody loves Eric Raymond, A comic featuring esr, rms, Linus and others.
Hah, yes, I remember that one. 😄
Remind me again, where were those published? Linux Journal?
/me wonders how long it took @jani to find this one in the depths of the net… 😬
Jann Horn@kernellogger huh, even the UAPI files? hopefully there are no userspace programs (outside of reiserfs-specific packages at least) that included those...
I guess based on https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%23include+%3Clinux%2Freiserfs&literal=1 it looks like maybe only libexplain does that, and that library uses conditional compilation macros, so I guess maybe nothing breaks...

@jann even as regression tracker I tend to think:
removal is fine: if nobody complains, great! And if somebody does just put it back.
Manos PitsidianakisSo called "scream test". Remove/disable something and wait for someone to start screaming to see who was using it.
