How To Implement A Database Oriented File System

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-think-about dept.

ALundi writes "A really great read from Andrew Orlowski over at The Register on how Benoit Schillings and Dominic Giampaolo created the 64-bit journaled and attribute based Be File System. Schillings and Giampaolo discuss a variety of design and implementation issues, including data integrity and file system performance. " Interesting in the context of MSFTs plans to implement a DB filesystem in future versions of MS Windows.

    Microsoft has never claimed any of those products were their ideas. Perhaps you're too young to know better rather than simply stupid, soI'll go easy on you. History records quite clearly where each of these ideas came from. The fact is that the original seeds came from different sources but it took Microsoft to create truly mature products from those ideas.

    As far as a DB filesystem - Microsoft announced that as the eventual path for Windows LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNG before BeOS came on the scene.

    I realise your post was a typical /. biased post and that was likely due to the fact that you're a penguin lackey but at least make an effort to get your facts straight.

    You must be in denial. This guy above you says BeOS is dead, and we should just move on.
