Of course: Simply backup, mkfs and restore!

Hans Reiser arrested on suspicion of murder.

What is the plan? Could i
migrate from reiserfs to another journaling filesystem? How will this
trouble affect reiserfs development?
I hope Hans innocent.
Thanks,

Since development has pretty much ceased already, there is nothing to
lose if you continue to use reiserfs.

Well, this is correct statement if we are talking about 3.6, its only bugfixes
lately. Altough SuSE people used to add some new stuff
like ACL support.
As for reiser4, we are still going through revision, thanks to AKPM. Chunking
out patches,fixing issues and generally cleaning the house.
Yes, we are rather shaked and stressed at moment, altough I can not say, we
didn't seen it coming.
I, personally, really like how US police acted exactly like their russian
counterpart: e.g. sitting on their ass for whole month, waiting, so they can
declare person officially missing and then just press charges against whoever
looks most vulnerable. Well, probably I am wrong. Time will show.
What WE (e.g. reiser4 dev people) are planng to do ?
Short term ( present + 6 months ):
We will just buzz along as ussual, chunking out patches and going through
review, while pursuing existing business oportunities to get some funding.
Long term (6 months from now and beyond):
If it goes way we hope it will go. Well... We will do fine.
If it goes bad. That is where it becomes tricky. We will try to appoint a proxy
to run Namesys business.
Thats it for now.

Am I the only one who read the sentence below:
Anthony Zografos, Reiser's boyfriend, said, "I have no thoughts. Until they
find Nina, I don't know what to think."
And thought, "Hans was gay? No wonder he broke up with his wife".
In fact, it wasn't until later when they mentioned Zografos was working
with Nina's best friend to make billboards that I realized I had
misunderstood it.

Reiserfs is written by a team of people at Namesys, and particularly
with reiserfs3 people at SuSE and elsewhere as well.

What I dislike is that with all this newspaper bad pubblicity Hans Reiser
could be ruined in his image and reputation also if he is innocent (as he is
right now by law).
Let's hope everything goes for the best.
about reiserSF and reiser4, there is a comunity of developers, isn't there?

And I wished they do the same for reiser4, because not having quota and
not having ACLs makes it useless for me ATM, despite all speed it brings
along.
(If those features have sneaked in in the past months, let me know.)

reiserfs is quite efficient in storing small files.
don`t know if there is anyfilesystem which is as efficient with this.....

Just millions? What's your problem then?
Per file you can estimate 4KiB + 128 bytes for the inode. That's
about 4.2GB for a million files. The "wasted" size is still lower, as
small files still require some storage even with tail packing.
And in-memory reiserfs is just as inefficient as any other filesystem,
as it shares the same page cache.

Depends. While reiser may get a diskspace bonus for packing, xfs and
others have a time bonus for not packing, and that's more important
when having lots of files. Disk space is quite cheap nowaedays.

I thought reiserfs (aka reiser3) was in deep maintainence mode anyway?
Why do you need to migrate away from it?
Reiser4 however is another story...
