Hans, unfortunately the most obvious reading of the above is "Reiser4 is so damned fast because it doesn't bother doing sanity-checking". If there's still more "fixmes" to be inserted that *you* know of, and there are so many that there's no time to fix them, why is this being submitted for inclusion?

This sort of claim requires proof - can you point at *specific* things that were less stable after you fixed the code, including explaining why they're less stable? --==_Exmh_1127109414_2682P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFDLlMmcC3lWbTT17ARAoI+AKCmzQSVJpcH0t+/LF7ihegfixcmJACePBRc 4x5F5HgNI/8rOcCnYmn9E7g= =wtgW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1127109414_2682P-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
