    Not much about Ext3, even though Redhat seems to prefer it to the others...

  2. JFS in the kernel?!?!? by Ignacio · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, right! Have you seen the code for it? It is a horrid mess. I tried digging through it, and soon found that I would have to rewrite it from the ground up. I'm not surprised LT et al. don't want it in Linux. It's a nice FS, but it's NOT ready to go into the kernel.

  3. JFS pulled from Mandrake 8.1 by LinuxGeek8 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Interesting review.

    On MandrakeForum the latest news about filesystems is that JFS will be pulled from Mandrake 8.1.

    There was done a test with a buildup/takedown of 100.000 files.
    In the case of JFS the deleting of those files caused a hard kernel crash.

    Seems there is some work to be done, despite it being a 1.0 release.

    And hey, what's up with this html here?
    Seems only plain text works right for me.
