With Namesys founder Hans Reiser recently arrested as the prime suspect in the disappearance of his estranged wife, a brief thread on the lkml discussed the future of ReiserFS.
According to a report at Linux.com, employees at Namesys are circling their wagons and plan to continue working on the project 'in the short term.' One employee admits, "we are rather shaken and stressed at the moment, although I cannot say we didn't see it coming."

The good news is that after they slocate the body they should be able to determine the time of death by pulling the mtime. Hopefully there are not too many uncorrectable errors, because I am sure she would have wanted to live and be fsck'd again some day instead of having her location marked as free space for another inode.
I do hope they patch their running processes to prevent her access time from being updated in the morgue.
It is a shame to lose great files as this one, but with the way technology is advancing maybe they could get a DNA bit sample and clone her to a new file system.
Maybe Hans could have RAID'd her instead and we wouldn't need to have this conversation.

I hate to jump to conclusions, but this one has been pretty obvious all along. It's really damning that he has a past history of violence against his (ex) wife. His erratic behaviour (which I suppose is nothing new, heh) coupled with the RIDICULOUS story about buying those books, the missing seat, blood in a car, all the secrecy, etc.
I won't attempt psychology, but with how Namesys has been doing, and how erratic Hans has always been, it all makes sense. I really do hope he's not guilty, and that it's just more "strangeness" on his part - and I hope they find Nina flew back to Russia and got lost in the airport for some months. I just don't see that as being very likely, and I think it's only a matter of time before Hans slips up (he's already slipped up a LOT.) It's not common to have a murder case with no body, but with Hans' behaviour, I imagine relatively soon he'll spill the beans (IF he is guilty) and even that will be sorted out.
Best wishes to the family and children of the (likely) deceased, and here's to hoping by some strange circumstances, Hans is not guilty and Nina is alive.
