What use is to me Haiku then if it doesn't use BFS? Why use ReiserFS? I don't get it. I f I want another Linux distro I can get one. Sad, so sad. Since Zeta is such a dissappointment, I was putting my hopes into Haiku. Seems BeOS IS dead ;)

Who cares if it uses BeFS or it has magic fairies hold onto data for you? As long as it has the same user-visible features, what does it matter?

That said, if they do manage to port ReiserFS that'd be pretty impressive indeed. Linux filesystems are closely tied in with both Linux's kernel locking mechanism and its page cache. It'd be quiet a feat to do the port.
