BSD Journaled File System Ready For Testing

Posted by timothy on from the dear-diary dept.

Dan writes "The Journaled File System for FreeBSD (JFS4BSD) Project has the goal of porting the JFS Technology from IBM/Linux to FreeBSD. It uses a log-based, byte-level file system that was developed for transaction-oriented, high performance systems. Scalable and robust, its advantage over non-journaled file systems is its quick restart capability: JFS can restore a file system to a consistent state in a matter of seconds or minutes. The jfsutils is under a compilable state on FreeBSD."

    I personally will not consider Reiser or EXT3 and could go into detail as to why. I have strong opinions as to what types of filesystems belong in production, and these will not qualify.

    How can a stupid statement like this get moderated to the top? Unsubstantiated claims like this should only be allowed to criticize Microsoft. Comments critical of Linux must be backed up with hard data.
