In-Reply-To: <7i39rg$dln$1@mips.rhein-neckar.de> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org AFAIK, reiserfs is going to be in the 2.3.x series. I'm not trying to pit the two OS against each other, I just really happen to like reiserfs, and I want to see it in FreeBSD. From the homepage: "I personally favor performing a balance of commercial and public works in my life. I have no axe to grind against software that is charged for, and no regrets at making reiserfs freely available to Linux users. This project is GPL'd, but I sell exceptions to the GPL to commercial OS vendors and file server vendors. It is not usable to them without such exceptions, and many of them are wise enough to understand that: " FreeBSD isn't a commercial OS, and I bet Hans would be completely OK with porting it, or giving assistance to anyone who was interested in porting.
