Could you please clarify what discussion you're referring to and in which way it is relevant to this discussion? I don't remember seeing a reference to reiserfs on the austin group ml recently (https://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=reiserfs&l=austin-group-l%40opengroup.org returns nothing at all), and I can't find anything at https://www.mail-archive.com/search?a=1&l=all&haswords=reiserfs+linux&x=10&y=18&from=&subject=&datewithin=1m&date=2017-10-24¬words=&o=newest that stands out from a cursory look as being the discussion you're referring to. AFAIK, reiserfs is only available on Linux, so all reiserfs discussions will be about Linux as well. IMO, such unsubstantiated claims are not useful to the discussion however true they may be. Thanks, Stephane
