I only wish.
Partly out of respect, and partly out of cowardice, I've avoided posting
anything, especially bug reports. I'm attempting to solve the issues as
best I can, and maybe I'll have a pile of logs for Hans if he gets back.
Also, I'm afraid of referring to Hans in the past tense, but the impulse
to do that is strong enough that I know I'll do it unconsciously unless
I avoid posting.
If Hans is reiser4 then I see little hope on the filesystem side of
things in Linux.
Also, I don't often start threads, and nobody's talking right now.
Personally, I wish Hans the best, and I'd be praying for an acquittal if
I was religious. But regardless of the outcome, I'll continue to use
Reiser4 as long as I can -- I'm not afraid of a "tainted name". What I
am afraid of is whether the FS will be properly maintained. There's a
reason I use Linux instead of the more obscure OSes -- Linux has
horrible design, but it's actively supported.
I don't mean to imply that my data is more important than Hans'
situation, but I can't neglect my data, and I don't know what I can do
to help Hans.
Hans and his family have had it rough. One wonders whether all the
resistance involved in getting reiserfs/reiser4 into Linux was partly to
blame.
