Hans Reiser developed a file system a while back, for LInux computers (but in theory useful for other systems as well) which is probably the best file system out there. There is one small problem: Hans Reiser has just recently been convicted of murdering his wife. This is a problem for several reasons.

I have two related proposals. First, forget about this finding the body thing.

But what I want to see first is that his sentence ... starting with, say, a presumed 50 years, is reduced on the basis of the performance of the file system. Set benchmarks.
