OpenSUSE 10.2 will no longer user ReiserFS as its default filesystem. "We've been using ReiserFS as our default installation file system for the last 6-7 years now, and it's served us well in that time. Unfortunately, there are a number of problems with it, some purely technical, some more related to maintenance. I'll outline a few of the larger issues and offer my solution as a conclusion."

In the past SUSE did the maintenance on ReiserFS themselves, but I think we can say that ReiserFS (3 that is) is 'end-of-life'.
Now the switch is made to the relatively safe ext3. That's a good decision too.
Maybe ReiserFS get's a new chance when Reiser4 becomes (finally) available in the vanilla kernel.
