Hi!

Yes, it *is* rather unfair. Sorry about that. But having 2 different
limited compressed filesystems in kernel does not seem good to me.





what do you need e.g. reiserfs 4 for? or jfs? or xfs? does not ext2/3 the journalling job also?
is there really a need for cifs and samba and ncpfs and nfs v3 and nfs v4? why?



Take a look at debate that preceded xfs merge. And btw reiserfs4 is
*not* merged.

And people merging xfs/reiserfs4/etc did address problems pointed out
in their code.

i do not know if i act like a troll - i think a troll is something totally different.

yes of course i know xfs or e.g. the kernel version named debate. but - seriously - is it worth spending
so many time to discuss instead of just fixing the code meanwhile?
that is the main problem also in some other open source projects.
discussing instead of developing - not really efficient.

ps. FYI no, i am not a troll, and i am also taking part in some open source projects contributing code.
