I've made a poll on forums.gentoo.org with a question:" What Reiser4 needs for you to start using it?" and with these offered answers I got following results: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1002726-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html Mainline inclusion 45% Encryption 0% Snapshots 0% Defrag 0% Performance 0% Subvolumes 0% Grub2 support 0% Something else 31% It's already perfect 4% I'd never use it 18% Something else were users that asked for checksums (we do that for ccreg40 partitions or files? what about reg40? just sizes AFAIK?), SSD support, fixing undeletable dir bug, long mount times (if the large partition is / does dont_load_bitmap have to be in boot options or it can be in /etc/fstab?)... Based on these results (even on a small portion of linux user base that's traditionally been positive about reiser4) I really think that taking Reiser4 to the staging tree could be the move that would show users that the R4 development has some goal and is not dying down and with that would come influx of new users/developers. Ofc this is just my wish as I don't have the knowlege or right to push it to staging but if there's anything you can think of that I can do to help (I have one extra machine just waiting for some R4 testing) please tell me. Thanks a lot for your great work Dushan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
