    ext3 was definitely a thing by the time of the murder, but I was wrong in that ext4 wasn’t released yet by the time Hans Reiser was convicted.

    But if you meant when reiserfs was first released, that’s fair. They were both ahead of their time for sure.

      Reiserfs was the first journalling FS included in the Linux kernel. Ext3 didn’t make it in until 2001. So reiser was the only game in town for us and why we moved that way. By the time of the murder ext3 was mature so the switch away wasn’t a big deal.
