'One Red Hat user, in a beta mailing-list posting, noted disappointment in not finding integrated support for the ReiserFS and XFS file systems in RHEL5.

The post yielded a few replies from other Red Hat users, most which were in support of Red Hat's decision not to include reiserfs and XFS and instead just to stick with the default ext3 filesystem.

"At this time ext3 is as good as XFS and ReiserFS are," Milan Kerslager wrote. "So this is worthless to have two similar FS in the kernel and do double work in-house to support both FS to satisfy a minority part of customers."

Hello Masthan,

Since RedHat does'nt want to support it anymore,reiserfs is removed in RHEL5.
