Novell Moves Away From ReiserFS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the first-domino dept.

VSquared56 writes, "Novell announced a shift in the default filesystem from ReiserFS to ext3 for users of its SuSE Enterprise Linux. This news comes shortly after Hans Reiser's arrest, though Novell says the decision was being considered long before. Though Novell will continue supporting ReiserFS 3, it claims ext3 is more stable and will 'soon' match performance with the newer ReiserFS 4. What implications will this have for SuSE users, and ReiserFS's future as a whole?"

    Good. I'm about to move away from Linux entireley, myself.

    I'm tired of beating my head against the wall and jump through hoops to get things working.

    I've never wasted so much time in my life.

    What a let down.

    What implications will this have for SuSE users...

    One-third of them will have to reformat and reinstall to get everything on ext3. The other two SuSE users won't have to change anything.

    bada-BING!
