Reiser4 Filesystem Released

trixie_czech writes "It's finally arrived. Go to namesys for reasons to use reiser4 as a filesystem and benchmarks. Go here to download. Enjoy!" The Namesys homepage in its current stage reminds me of a cross between The Secret Guide to Computers and the GNU Manifesto -- which is to say, there is a lot to read here, not just a bullet-pointed feature list.

    The only arguable advantage of ext3 is its compatibility with the baseline ext2.

    yeah, that, and *stability*. reiserfs has a noteable history of people losing their data because of filesystem problems.

    No, apparently you don't. By your argument, the NAACP would be a racist organization.

    The first-grade errors in your post aptly characterize your inability to conduct a reasoned argument.
