I think you misread me. I'm interested in ext4, and disappointed in NameSys' handling of reiser4. I love the *idea* of reiser4, but being able the resize the filesystem is *mandatory* for my setup, and I don't get that with reiser4. However, forward movement on a resizer (and other, currently vaporware, filesystem features/utilties) had been completely abandoned to the effort of getting reiser4 mainlined, well before Hans' legal troubles started. I feel this was/is a mistake; I have no problem running mm-sources when it has a feature I desire. But with the filesystem as it is I can't actually use it for more than testing. I've heard some (but not enough) about ext4 and it seems promising. I'm keeping my eye on it, and will probably throw some "production" data on it before it's mainlined. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
