N Y reiserfs N N N Y N Y (reiserfs) Y* Y** Y** Y N Y * data logging patches by Chris Mason (SuSE) ** EA/ACL patches by Jeff Mahoney (SuSE) The current feature situation does not look great for reiserfs. From my point of view the latest data logging patches seem to behave very solid and are desireable to have in 2.6.x. I have no experience with the EA/ACL patches from Jeff Mahoney, but SuSE uses them for a long time. What can be expected to be seen in reiserfs V3 before reiser4's big time? Or has reiserfs V3 entered a hard feature freeze. -- lg, Chris
