Or has reiserfs V3 entered a hard feature freeze. SuSE is actively porting all of this. Even though I've been saying this for over a year now, it really is happening ;-) Basically as we migrate to 2.6 for our products, we'll be pulling in all the features we added during the 2.4 kernels. v3 has a lot of users, so we've no intention of leaving them behind in the 2.6 series kernels. -chris
