OpenBFS Reaches Beta

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sounds-groovy dept.

Bruno G. Albuquerque writes "The OpenBFS Team (part of the OpenBeOS project that aims to recreate BeOS from scratch) has moved the project status to early beta. This means OpenBFS is now a 100% complete (but barely tested) replacement for the original Be File System (BFS). It is a 64 bit, multithreaded and journaled file system that supports unlimited number os extended attributes and has support some database-like functions (like ultra-fast searches based on an index). OpenBFS is written in C++ and is licensed under the MIT license."

    Yay, yet another operating system to obfuscate the already crowded field of operating systems...

    Why on earth should I try OpenBeOS ? What could it do for me that Windows/OSX/Linux/BSD can't do?

    Well, since it's written in C++, Linus will refuse to accept it in the kernel. I guess since he's not smart enough to figure out how to write kernel-friendly C++ code, no one else is allowed to figure it out either.

    My point is that Windows/OSX/Linux/BSD exist already ... why waste effort on yet another operating system?

    If you're doing it just for kicks, then I understand.
