Migrate them to a modern filesystem, presumably. ext4 is extremely reliable, btrfs is less proven but much more featureful with copy-on-write and snapshots.
This isn’t any type of surprise, ResierFS was marked obsolete some time ago now.
Use a kernel version that still has support to perform the copy before upgrading? If already upgraded, boot to the old kernel? Boot from a live iso that has support?
I mean, this isn’t exactly a hard problem to solve…
Use an old kernel version (if yours doesn’t still support it) and something like btrfs-convert to get a maintained filesystem instead. Works pretty well in my experience with converting other filesystems to btrfs.
I agree with the other commenter recommending to migrate as soon as possible while the kernel still does support, but that does seem like a workable strategy if you can’t for the foreseeable future.
The guy had a friend who admitted to 8 murders and he himself murdered his wife who was the translator for a Russian mail order bride catalogue… Woah. Its hard to believe a person like that could contribute to open source.
You are discussing on a platform created by a man who praises people like Lenin & Castro. Richard Stallman resigned over some comments on Epstein victims. Free software is like that sometimes.
Lenin and Castro are actual heroes, though. Your propagandistic take is just NATO support. For West, Hitler, Netanyahu, Biden, Stepan Bandera are heroes today.
Idk, ask west, Biden pumped billions into Israel last week and even threatened ICC openly. All of west is bouncing on Netanyahu’s wiener and cheering Israel. Hitler’s collaborators have monuments in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, and Canada even paid tribute to Nazis in their parliament.
Man what a wild ride ReiserFS has been. I remember when it was the mainline FS in a lot of Linux distros. Good on Hans to right some wrongs. Prison has done some good on him
No need to change something if there’s no reason to. A murderer of wife he may be, but that wouldn’t change what happened in the project. It’s also possible that since it wasn’t all that popular outside of memes nobody even checked.
It’s a readme. You don’t need a huge reason to remove bs like this. Using documentation in the kernel source tree to air grievances shouldn’t be allowed.
Edit: Excuse me, he’s in California Health Care Facility, which is a state prison which is geared toward patients with long-term medical needs (acute chronic diseases, debilitating injuries) and acute mental health needs (which Reiser definitely fits the profile of). He was transferred out of San Quentin some years ago.
He is locked in California, a fairly progressive and leftist state i think , I am not entirely certain all that therapy is a good thing, i think i watched a documentary saying that psychopaths only learn from therapy how to be better manipulators and i feel like he sounds like psychopath even now.
With that said if he gets out of prison i think he should be allowed to participate in FOSS (when someone reviews his contributions), i can’t help but wonder if his reportedly unhinged behavior on the kernel mailing list was handled better (e.g. mandating he will go to therapy) the murder would not have happened.
I think it’s rash to judge the tone of his writing like that. It can be a struggle to identify and admit one’s flaws, and it’s certainly a struggle for most people of the modern era to write elegantly with only pen and a few sheets of paper.
The prisons he was in previously definitely are not the touchy-feely kind. These days he’s in California Health Care Facility, which is geared toward prisoners with significant mental health problems (notably, multiple serial killers). So, therapy of some kind definitely makes sense. However, Reiser’s been denied parole each and every time he’s been up for it (next review in 2025), so it is unlikely that he’s getting out.
Yes, most people experience prison in the way you described. There’s always exceptions, and like someone else said it’s in California. Not a left wing state but the closest you’ll get in the US.
If the system was so great at rehabilitation the reoffender rate wouldn’t be so insane.
