The company's CDP server has previously introduced support for a few different Linux distributions running on the Linux 2.4 kernel or higher. Specifically supported distributions include Fedora Core, Debian Linux, CentOS Linux, OpenVZ, RedHat Enterprise, Virtuozzo, Ubuntu and custom built vanilla or patched Linux 2.6 kernels. A beta Windows agent of the CDP Server is also available, says the company.
"ReiserFS has been the historical default file system for Linux distributions like Novell SuSE, OpenSuSE, and Gentoo. By introducing support for ReiserFS, our software can be used on a significantly larger portion of Linux server deployments," says David Wartell, R1Soft founder and CEO. "Many of our customers have been waiting for this important next step, and I am glad the waiting is finally over."
R1Soft says it also plans to introduce official support for Novell Suse and OpenSuse in the near future.
