[Bug 1241758] Re: ReiserFS support removed from Ubuntu 13.10 installer => not even possible to mount existing partitions

[Ivaylo]

Come on guys, why ON EARTH you are removing reiserfs from install option? Where's the "FREE AND OPENED" in that???
Mr. Reiser and what he did has nothing to do with the fact that reiserfs is a GREAT piece of software, and so important! It's not graphic interface (unity was bad desision  either, but whatever) We are talking about user's DATA! I had bad experiences too with other filesystems, and my choice is ReiserFS 3.6. Don't tell me to look for another FS, cuz i'm not some noob. You know I'm right 
about reiserfs! 
So PLEASE bring back partman-reisefs in!

Title:
  ReiserFS support removed from Ubuntu 13.10 installer => not even
  possible to mount existing partitions

Status in partman-partitioning package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  ReiserFS support has been removed from the Ubuntu 13.10 installer. It
  is not even possible to mount existing partitions in the installer. I
  do *not* yet want to use BTRFS for my data partition, since it is much
  more unstable than ReiserFS. And I do *not* want to use the old
  ext3/4, since its performance is worse then ReiserFS (directories with
  many small files).

  At least, the installer should still allow to mount existing ReiserFS-
  based data partitions. Currently, it is necessary to install with
  BTRFS or ext3/4 and then manually add the existing ReiserFS
  partitions. If Ubuntu does not want people to use ReiserFS for
  whatever reason, print a warning and let users decide to use it. Just
  silently removing a feature is annoying.
