Public bug reported: ReiserFS support has been removed from the Ubuntu 13.10 installer. It is not even possible to mount existing partitions in the installer. I do *not* yet want to use BTRFS for my data partition, since it is much more unstable than ReiserFS. And I do *not* want to use the old ext3/4, since its performance is worse then ReiserFS (directories with many small files).
At least, the installer should still allow to mount existing ReiserFS- based data partitions. Currently, it is necessary to install with BTRFS or ext3/4 and then manually add the existing ReiserFS partitions. If Ubuntu does not want people to use ReiserFS for whatever reason, print a warning and let users decide to use it. Just silently removing a feature is annoying. ** Affects: partman-partitioning (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241758 Title: ReiserFS support removed from Ubuntu 13.10 installer => not even possible to mount existing partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-partitioning/+bug/1241758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
