description:
reiserfs is a revolutionary new approach to file system design which
stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a B*-tree. It is
a generation ahead of alternatives which use older plain B-tree
technology, and cannot store the files themselves in the tree. Reiserfs
doesn't suffer from log congestion either, you can effectively use it
for quickly creating a 100,000 entry directory, and it is fairly unique
in that.

changes:
This release contains all the fixes in 3.5.17pre3, a fix for an obscure
memory leak, a fix for du reporting incorrect file sizes, a fix for
garbage past the end of files (hit by news mmaping filesize + 1 bytes),
fsck fixes to better support the objectid reuse code from 3.5.17pre3,
greatly reduced transaction messages during FS mounts, the removal of
some warning messages and extra spinlocks, and a make install target
for all the util programs.

urgency:
low
