Hans Reiser, born on December 19, 1963, is an American computer programmer and entrepreneur who created the ReiserFS journaled file system and its intended successor, Reiser4. He was born in Oakland, California, and received a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley in 1992. In 2004 he founded Namesys, a corporation meant to coordinate development of both file systems. ReiserFS has been available in the Linux operating system since version 2.4.1 and was at times the default file system of several Linux distributions, including Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise until 2006. In April 2008 Reiser was convicted of the first-degree murder of his wife, Nina Reiser, and he later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree murder under a settlement agreement. ReiserFS was removed from the Linux kernel in November 2024.
