==Integration with Linux== Reiser4 has patches for Linux 2.6, 3.x, 4.x and 5.x.,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://sourceforge.net/projects/reiser4/files/ |title=Reiser4 file system for Linux OS - Browse Files at SourceForge.net |website=sourceforge.net |access-date=2019-08-04}}</ref><ref name="phLinux5patch" /> but {{as of|lc=y|2019}}, Reiser4 has not been merged into the mainline [[Linux kernel]]<ref name="phLinux5patch" /> and consequently is still not supported on many [[Linux distribution]]s; however, its predecessor ReiserFS v3 has been widely adopted. Reiser4 is also available from [[Andrew Morton (computer programmer)|Andrew Morton]]'s [[Mm tree|-mm]] kernel sources, and from the Zen patch set. The Linux kernel developers claim that Reiser4 does not follow the Linux "coding style" by the decision to use its own plugin system,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://kerneltrap.org/node/6844 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070423030227/http://kerneltrap.org/node/6844 | archive-date=2007-04-23 | title=Linux: Why Reiser4 Is Not in the Kernel | date=September 19, 2005 | publisher=Kerneltrap }}</ref> but [[Hans Reiser]] suggested the decision was made for political reasons.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/21/109 | title=The "'official' point of view" expressed by kernelnewbies.org regarding reiser4 inclusion | first=Hans | last=Reiser | author-link=Hans Reiser | date=21 July 2006 | access-date=2008-03-01}}</ref> The latest released Reiser4 kernel patches and tools can be downloaded from Reiser4 project page at sourceforge.net.<ref name=reiser4sourceforge>[http://reiser4.sourceforge.net/ http://reiser4.sourceforge.net/]</ref>
