Clearing The Last ReiserFS Remnants: Documentation Cleanse Of The Defunct File-System


It was nearly one year ago in the Linux 6.13 kernel that the ReiserFS file-system was dropped from the mainline kernel after having been deprecated in 2022

David Sterba of SUSE sent out the patch today after spotting some ReiserFS remnants within the Linux kernel documentation as well as some tooling. Meanwhile the out-of-tree Reiser4 file-system code or the Reiser5 evolution remain unmaintained and the development repository hasn't been touched now in three years. So with the remaining documentation references being cleared out, it looks like this era of Linux file-system pursuit by convicted murderer Hans Reiser is now over for good.
