I'm not seeing the snark in the email? Reiser was infamous for murdering his wife, and I'm guessing Wilcox doesn't want the discussion derailed by Reiser's sordid history.
>Does reiserfs still have a large install base that is just very happy with an old stable filesystem? Or have all its users migrated to new and exciting filesystems with active feature development?
That's... not snark?
Can you point out what you think is snarky there?
It’s a bit of a stretch but I guess you could interpret calling a 20 years old FS “old” as snarky?
Though of course that it hasn’t received any major update in the last 15 years and is fast approaching major issues (iirc it’s not y2038-safe) are factors.
What was snarky in the email? (Maybe it went over my head since I only have no reiser knowledge).
EDIT: ignore. Sibling asked the same while I typed my question.
On HN you can delete within some time-window.
That's not asking for "no snark", but you are also wrong on there being snark previously.
