Actually we are ahead of Debian, Ed, as they are still using lzo and zlib for their filesystems compress/decompress, even
in their Unstable (Sid) distribution kernel packaging. So still using ignore-dups as there seems no adverse effect:

lsmod | grep -i reiser4
reiser4               454656  1
zstd_compress         167936  1 reiser4
zstd_decompress        86016  1 reiser4

As of this morning I am using the kernel.org upstream kernel 4.14.3-1, which I properly built this time with stretch GCC-6.x
(unlike my very first 4.14.2-1 effort --which I built with GCC-7). I have also built Felix's package of reiser4progs 1.2 (for consistency) stretch-backports.

After copying data in my development laptop to another storage medium, I reformated ~ 1.1TB partition with ZSTD and subsequenly migrated back my original data. I am impressed with initial performance of ZSTD over previous transparent-compression scheme. Still testing though...

I have uploaded relevant stretch-backports kernel/utilities build-generated reiser4 component software to SourceForge
