The story of Hans Reiser, the eccentric file system programmer, is a tragic one. The author of the ReiserFS was
arrested under suspicion of the murder of his wife Nina Reiser in 2006, and was
declared guilty in April 2008. Some still placed doubts about the conviction, stating that he might be innocent. It now seems that all doubt has been quelled, since Alameda County District Attorney Thomas Orloff has revealed that Hans Reiser will
disclose the location of Nina's body for a reduced sentence.
