Seeing that Hans Reiser is officially sitting in a penitentiary, do you still use ReiserFS?

Yes, having a /home partition (and being to lazy to convert) in ReiserFS. The guy may be a killer, but his code works. I would not stop using Linux if Linus became a serial killer. Not that I think he would though...

Oh, and my router is an old Slackware 10.1.0 with ReiserFS. It works, but I've considered an upgrade many times. Still have not had time to spare on that project. When I do I'll go for ext3 or ext4

ReiserFS never really did it for me...

I wonder if users would buy a copy of Windows if Bill Gates became a murder :|

I get the hunch that the popularity of Windows would significantly dwindle.

I use ReiserFS on a 500GB backup drive. I have never had a problem with data going missing when the server it is attached to goes down suddenly (from a power outage or something); the transactions replay, and my data is still intact.

Primarily though, I use JFS for my main partitions and ext2 for my boot drive.

I use ReiserFS and I will continue to use it, because one man is convicted of crime doesn't mean his achivments mean nothing, if Tesla was a serial killer would use you anything you do today? because if you say yes, it was Tesla that made today what it is, so because Reiser made a bad choice in life doesn't mean his invention (in his case, his code) is evil.

Perhaps Edison's Direct Current(DC) would have been the winning way to distribute electricity had Tesla or Westinghouse commit murder during that time.

The technology for long-distance power transmission simply wasn't there, because it's not trivial to convert 100V DC to 1,000,000V DC and back using the primitive tools they had. Even today, if we tried to use DC, we'd find that 100V DC is simply not a good supply for even small urban settings. AC won because it had advantages back then and today. Transformers are much cheaper at any scale than DC-DC converters.

I just started using reiserFS. I heard it was good so did a reinstall of Debian and tried it out on my root (/) partition. I later read that sometimes the FS can become corrupt if the system crashes or is shutdown improperly, so I've been trying to get it to break: turn off the circuit breakers in the house, try and make the kernel panic (haven't been able to ), just pull the plug on the laptop while I'm doing something (compiling something). But nothing bad has happened, and I'm pretty satisfied. I plan on using it for a while, or at least until Ext4 comes out.

In an era of cheap and steadily cheaper silicon, this is no longer obvious. Witness how switching power supplies have taken over from analog supplies; switchers are smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the big analog supply with its metal-intensive transformer.

Yes, I still use it.
If you found out Satan created twinkies would you still eat them?

The guy did a crime and he's doing his time, and I don't see why people need to stop using a piece of software because of the developers.

Not using ReiserFS because of murder could make SOME sense only if Hans Reiser killed his wife with ReiserFS.

I've tried reiserfs several times, but I didn't find critical differences between xfs, ext3, jfs and reiserfs, so I"m using ext3 right now (for no particular reason).

I have tried ReiserFS, and done some research on XFS and JFS, and decided on JFS, and not regretted my decision. JFS is very efficient, especially on my old AMD 450MHz desktop. I heard that the SuSe distro dropped ReiserFS due to the whole murder debacle, and now since Hans as been found guilty, I would imagine that whoever is maintaining ReiserFS will probably rename the FS to WhateeverFS V1.0. I don't see the name sticking around much longer, but thats just the name. The code itself will be the same.

Sooner or later it will not be called ReiserFS anymore. Probably NinaFS V1.0.

NinaFS actually sounds pretty cool.

If you never want to change anything you might use reiserfs, but don't do any changes to your partition table. I just crashed my partition ext3 is still ok but reiserfs is lost!

While I use XFS mostly, I do still use ReiserFS on some drives.
