Reiser5 Would Be Turning Five Years Old But Remains Dead

([Linux Storage] 26 December 06:47 AM EST Reiser5 Dead)


It was on New Year's Eve 2019 that Edward Shishkin [1]announced the Reiser5 file-system as an evolution of the out-of-tree [2]Reiser4 file-system code. While next week would mark five years of Reiser5, the Reiser4/Reiser5 file-system still appears effectively dead and hasn't been touched in quite a while.

Recalling the end-of-year [3]Reiser5 announcement, with that anniversary approaching I was curious if there was anything new happening to the Reiser file-system code by Shishkin or others... But, nope. One month after [4]ReiserFS was deleted from the mainline Linux kernel , there looks like no chances of Reiser4/Reiser5 rekindling to make it into the Linux kernel.

The [5]Reiser4 SourceForge project where the Reiser4 and Reiser5 out-of-tree patches would be released haven't been touched now in two and a half years. The last Reiser4 patch update was Reiser4 re-based for the Linux 5.16 kernel... Now we are currently on the Linux 6.13 upstream cycle. The Reiser5 patch releases have also not been touched since 2022.

Shishkin's [6]Reiser4 GitHub repository that he was using as the upstream kernel code for Reiser4 also hasn't been touched now in two years.

So at this stage it looks unlikely seeing any new developments around Reiser4/Reiser5 for what will be the five year anniversary of the Reiser5 announcement.

A traveling salesman was driving past a farm when he saw a pig with three
wooden legs executing a magnificent series of backflips and cartwheels.
Intrigued, he drove up to the farmhouse, where he found an old farmer
sitting in the yard watching the pig.
"That's quite a pig you have there, sir" said the salesman.
"Sure is, son," the farmer replied. "Why, two years ago, my daughter
was swimming in the lake and bumped her head and damned near drowned, but that
pig swam out and dragged her back to shore."
"Amazing!" the salesman exclaimed.
"And that's not the only thing. Last fall I was cuttin' wood up on
the north forty when a tree fell on me. Pinned me to the ground, it did.
That pig run up and wiggled underneath that tree and lifted it off of me.
Saved my life."
"Fantastic! the salesman said. But tell me, how come the pig has
three wooden legs?"
The farmer stared at the newcomer in amazement. "Mister, when you
got an amazin' pig like that, you don't eat him all at once."
