Hi
We are still using Reiserfs for its space optimisation.
Very optimised for a lot of little files and its shrink feature is better than with xfs
The file system is more resilient with power outage per exemple than others
So with linux 6.6 any way possible to load the module ?

IIRC it got its efficiency boost by storing bits of one file in the
allocated-but-not-full inode of another. While true, that's more space
efficient, good luck untangling the mess that filesystem damage makes.
