Reiser5 File-System In Development - Adds Local Volumes With Parallel Scaling Out

By your logic, he makes most of his money from the Outreachy and SystemD threads. For some reason, those seem to attract the most mad butthurt people there is.

I think you misquoted and meant starshipeleven.

None of these filesystems are performant to modern standards. Reiser has no work with them. At very least take his name off them, but even still no one cares because EXT4, JFS, XFS and F2FS are already more than enough.

Here are some benchmarks:

R4 is all over the map, sometimes better or in the same league as ext4. That doesn't really say much about where r5 will land.

Am I the only one that hopes they KEEP the name?
This decade is an interesting one, with the snow-flake generation and social justice warriors coming out in full force.
Hans may have done a horrible thing, but that does not mean we have to eradicate from existence every positive thing he has accomplished.
I should have prefaced this paragraph with a Trigger Warning, my apologies.

Congratulations to Edward!
If it is changed enough, it would probably be good to use a different name. NamesysFS as suggested here might work if there is no copyright.
If it is good enough for today's standards, I hope he can mainline it. If not, maybe Kent Overstreet can get some good ideas from there (although it might be too late for changes like these).

Yes, correct. The more people interact and see the ads the more he is paid. This is how all journalism and "free internet services" like youtube work.

Don't expect huge dividends of course, especially for a site talking about Linux like Phoronix

As described, Reiser5 is still Reiser4 + additional multi-disk software raid features on top so I would expect it to not change THAT much performance wise, besides the performance coming from RAID configuration themselves.

Ah I see you're a man of culture as well.

More sweet tears, I'm so lucky today.

Shut up. Rolling my eyes at a stupid naming decision != tears.

Yes it's tears even if you rationalize it as contempt.

Speaking of rationalization...
