State Of The Filesystem

Posted by timothy on from the upward-tilting-trend dept.

Skeme writes "Have you heard of Plan 9 or Reiser4 but don't know much about them? Are you curious about the improvements free software is making to its filesystems in general? Read my summary of the current developments in the filesystem: namely, what improvements we can expect (a lot), and what Linux and the BSDs can do to improve on the filesystem."

    sure, im going to listen to this guy about filesystem implementation when he cant even set up MIME types on his webserver. jackass.

  2. Not about filesystems by Salamander · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The article is not about filesystems in anything like a general sense; it's just a PR piece for ReiserFS and its creator, enunciating criteria specific to that implementation and then attempting to show how it actually (gasp!) meets its own idiosyncratic goals. What a waste of time.
