Why would anyone want ReiserFS in the kernel that is discontinued by its developers when it's just started to become stabile and useful, with bugs (hashing) remaining, as happened with 3.6? Who is going to make guarantees this won't happen again with reiser4? Besides that, there had been technical discrepancies that prevented reiser4 inclusion into the baseline kernel when it was suggested, search the archives for details. There's ext3, you can set the dir_index option (either for mke2fs, or afterwards with tune2fs, then unmount and run e2fsck -fD) and you're set. -- Matthias Andree - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
