Phoronix: Reiser4 Updated For Linux 3.16 With SSD Discard Support

While Reiser4 doesn't still have any mainline Linux kernel ambitions until receiving any corporate backing, the notoriously known Linux file-system has been updated for Linux 3.16 compatibility and SSD discard support...

I think that they should go for mainline without any commercial backing., as they're unlikely to find any corporate supporter, especially under that name.

Either;
A) Go for mainline support without commercial backing.
B) Change the name and seek commercial backing.

How does Reiser4 compare these days against Btrfs and ZFS and other modern file systems?

He was sentenced to 15 years to life and began serving in 2008. I hope you were joking...

2023 then.

I hope he can get a parole for good behavior and conduct, or maybe a laptop with access to a Git server.

He shouldn't be left to rot in a prison.
He should be punished for the crime that he have committed, but the guy can be a resource for the society and he should
be able to contribute to the society.

I wouldn't bank on that.

It's the USA. We're all about throwing people in prison and letting them rot there.
