Linus Torvalds accepted into the kernel Linux A change removing the ReiserFS file system implementation, which was deprecated last year and scheduled for removal in 2025. The change has been merged into the kernel branch that forms the 6.13 kernel (expected to be released in early February). The key reason for removing ReiserFS was to reduce the effort required to maintain kernel changes spanning various file systems, such as the transition to a new mounting API, iomap, and folios. The ReiserFS user base is estimated to be small.
Other issues with ReiserFS include stagnation in support for the file system, the unsolved Year 2038 problem, and the lack of fault tolerance capabilities offered by modern file systems to protect against corruption in the event of a crash or compromise. The last major distribution to support ReiserFS was openSUSE, but two years ago, openSUSE developers stopped supporting the file system in the Tumbleweed repository. SUSE stopped supporting ReiserFS 6 years ago. A pull request to remove ReiserFS in the 6.13 kernel was submitted by a SUSE employee.
