Interview With Reiser4 Author Hans Reiser

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the protect-your-bits dept.

An anonymous reader writes "KernelTrap has an interesting interview with Hans Reiser, the author of two revolutionary Linux filesystems, Reiser3 and Reiser4. Reiser3 was the first journaling Linux filesystem. Reiser4 is a complete rewrite that is claimed to offer amazing performance and a new plugin architecture offering semantic enhancements to rival Microsoft's WinFS and Apple's Spotlight. Comparing Reiser4 to WinFS, Reiser says in the interview, "Reiser4 is a much more mature design, representing a 10 year effort"."

    I am Hans, and this is Franz, and we want to [clap] journal your filesystem.
    Ya. Ya. All you little girly men with your FAT and NTFS!
    Really, Ya. Makes me sad to see such pathetic file systems!
