Linux Filesystem Creator Held on Murder Charge
Source: OpenSource Magazine
___________ Hans Reiser, the programmer behind ReiserFS, the first journaled file system included in the standard Linux kernel, was arrested last week for murdering his estranged wife. Reiser3 is the default file system in SUSE, Xandros, Linspire, Slackware, Yoper, Kurmin Linux and Libranet Linux - at least it was the SUSE default until a few minutes ago. Novell decided to ape Red Hat and switch to ext3 late last week after complaining last month about ReiserFS' scalability, support and narrow development community. Reiser4, underwritten by DARPA and Linspire, hasn't made it into the Linux kernel yet for similar reasons. Now it's ultimate fate and that of Reiser's company, Namesys, and its Russian programmers are questionable. |
