Most of the documentation is a snapshot of the old Namesys site (archive.org, 2007-09-29).
There was also a Reiser4 Wiki (archive.org, 2007-07-06) once on pub.namesys.com.
Reiser4 development appears to have stalled and ReiserFS is deprecated and scheduled to be removed from mainline Linux in 2025.

- Journal relocation and resizing was sponsored by ApplianceWare
- HSM sponsored by BigStorage, Inc.
- Journaling sponsored by SuSE (originally sponsored by mp3.com)
- Debugging sponsored by Linspire (now Xandros)
