    ReiserFS didn't even make 2.4. So it's not a *long* time. It's been there for "a little while." Ext3 is not in the official kernel yet, you're correct. But it is in Alan Cox's kernel, and should be in the official kernel soon.


    I like ReiserFS, but I have had it fuck up on a machine before. I'm not bitter against it, and I'm not saying that it's not good - but there is still work to be done on it. Ext3 has a lot working for it, and that's why Red Hat is using it in 7.2. Read the article for more details.
