The End of ReiserFS: Declared "Obsolete" in Linux Kernel

The ReiserFS file-system has been officially declared "obsolete" within the Linux kernel, as it is no longer marked as "Supported" and is expected to be dropped from the mainline Linux kernel within the next few years. ReiserFS is considered outdated compared to modern file-systems like EXT4, Btrfs, XFS, F2FS, and Bcachefs. The Reiser4 development did not result in its inclusion in the mainline, and the Reiser5 file-system is not expected to be mainlined in the near future. Users are advised to switch to alternative file-system options if they are actively using ReiserFS with modern versions of the Linux kernel.
