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"."

    What is better than having the file system's author make unbiased competitive claims about their own products?

      fucking jews

      You are probably right. I must admit I don't have much experience fucking jews, but I can easilly imagine that fucking jews is a lot better than reading an interview could ever be. When thinking about it, I'm pretty sure fucking jews must be more pleasant than reading an interview, so in some sense it has got to be better.

    I was actually thinking wouldn't it be cool if all the major OS's had a basic set of libraries that were all the same. Things like create window, make a net connection, I/O, that kind of thing. They could each still have their own API's that did their own fandangled cool-look-what-our-OS-can-do type stuff, but the basic API's would allow an App, to be quickly ported from one OS to the next. At least the basic stuff. If an App had more OS-specific calls, it might take longer to port that part, but at least getting the app to show up would be a huge relief.
