The only thing funnier than the linux kernel supporting a filesystem who’s creator murdered their wife, is people confusing it with bcachefs.
'the linux kernel might be removing a filesystem'
"you mean the one who's developer murdered his wife?"
'no the one who's developer keeps ignoring kernel mailing list protocol'
Remember to always check default mount options.
As funny as this is, it’s worth mentioning that it seems like Hans Reiser has really come around to understanding the crime he committed and is genuinely making an effort to turn himself around.

I was asked by a kind Fredrick Brennan for my comments that I might offer on the discussion of removing ReiserFS V3 from the kernel. I don’t post directly because I am in prison for killing my wife Nina in 2006.
I am very sorry for my crime–a proper apology would be off topic for this forum, but available to any who ask.
There’s too much to quote here, and it’s too spread out, but I think that while we make dark humor jokes (and I am certainly not saying dark humor is inherently bad) we should also appreciate the progress he has made.
Murdering your wife is one of those things that, no matter what else you achieve in your life, people will say “there goes Hans the wife murderer”. Even if you only ever murdered one wife and have shown no signs of making a habit of it.
404s for me as well but im guessing https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/convicted-murderer-filesystem-creator-writes-of-regrets-to-linux-list covers it.
Interesting to see how many features NTFS does support
That’s why it’s still being used. Not a major reason to move on for MS.
Sad to see APFS not on the list (I know why, just wanted to compare).
Not sure if it’s gotten better in the last few years, but it’s also incredibly slow. Like orders of magnitude slower than ext3 or HFS.
If you’re running it thru the FUSE driver perhaps…proprietary ntfs drivers absolutely rip
Also make sure last access time is turned off, that is a nice auditing feature for opsec, but it slows things down for the normal user. It should be off by default above 256GB drive sizes.
