probably not, from my readings of linux-kernel it appears that the people in charge (Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox)* do not yet feel Reiser is quite ready to be merged into the main kernel tree. i think Alexander Viro the VFS guy also has some issues. The other problem is Linus is getting more conservative about allowing new stuff into 2.4 since the more that is added the longer it will take to finish. > Also, which of the journaling FS projects will be the one integrated > into the main kernel source tree (sometime)? most likely Reiser will be first since its a bit further along then ext3. But iirc Alan Cox wants to see the Reiser and ext3 journaling layers merged before either goes in. read linux kernel archives or past issues of kernel-cousin on linuxcare. if your interested in the details. * i don't presume to speak for anyone, this is just what i remember reading in the past couple months. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
