    Mod parent as troll!

    The "about three weeks" he sarcastically quotes is how long Theo had said his wife would be in the hospital from surgical complications just before she passed away early this spring. "About three weeks" is a troll used at every opportunity on the OpenBSD mailing lists, and it's twice caused Theo to have to take time away from the lists.

    This is neither informative nor funny. Come on, people -- whether you like Theo or not, Angie had nothing to do with the BSD project, and this is just cruel.

    Come back with benchmarks.

    That the FreeBSD filesystem blows the above away is one of its greater strengths. Sun is the only UNIX with a faster filesystem, but at nothing like the price point of course.

    There's a reason why FreeBSD and Solaris are the only platforms where Oracle doesn't require a dedicated partition to create its own database filesystem. FreeBSD and Solaris can hack it. JFS, XFS, Reiser and friends are a fairly distant second.

    Please do your research before posting. This kind of performance isn't about the desktop. Leave the replies to people with real server experience.

    Our military is not the laughing stock. We took Afghanistan. We took Iraq and brought the WTC attackers to their knees. We hold North Korea back. We're undefeated from day one. That's a hell of a record for our boys to stand by.

    And yes, I'd love for my boy to have been the one to drape this great nation's flag over the figure of that despot. I'd love for my boy to be there right now, and I don't see how you say they're shooting the wrong people, because the boys they're shooting sure as hell aren't ours.

    The moment you start criticizing this nation's great military is the moment you've lost the argument. It's a glorious place to be, a place that makes a man proud, and it's a gift that George W. has given us that the military is expanding: it's offering jobs to the countless Americans displaced from their jobs by dirty foreigners crawling onto our soil.

    No propaganda machine has gotten to me. I read the newspaper daily. (Do you?) I listen to every presidential address. (Do you?) I've done my reading and I've done my research, I've prayed to God, and I thank him every night that I can vote Republican straight down the ballot and know I've made the responsible choice.

    I'm only glad that your kind is generally too lazy, apathetic, or drugged up on 420s to vote.

    Capitalize America, you fucking bleeding heart liberal. And don't you criticize my celebration of this great land until you tell me what you're doing to support and defend it.

    You say you're not a troll, then you accuse me of not caring? I'm raising my boy to join the army, God bless him. If he were just a little older, he'd have been in Afghanistan paying back the hijackers' dirty deeds with blood. And when the next country steps on us, you can bet he'll be there to face them head on.

    I can raise my head up high, and my son will damned well too. What about you? Does your pot culture have anything to show but shame and excuses?

    I half suspect I'm responding to a troll. This isn't a feature you can simply lift and compile in. This touches many parts of the kernel which don't yet exist on Linux. More details here.

    Hopefully Linux will see this added in 2.8 or similar. Or they may take OpenBSD's tact ofadding commit markers to the journal queues to force syncs before blocks that update metadata. (This is good for reliability, but a little bad for performance, and very bad for potentially losing much more data if power is yanked or machine crashes)

    This could be incorporated in Linux, if that's what you mean. It would be a pretty major undertaking, however. This operates with hooks at the filesystem layer and the block device layer both, which means that for every filesystem implementing this, a path needs to be made through it. This would touch not only the INode queue system (which would be good, as the Moustache ride-ordered queue mentioned above is more efficient), but also the Async Network And Loopback probe since this would have to permeate 2.4's proc-based /dev filesystem, and the penal sheath bits of the thread dispatcher in order to allow a filesystem to halt the process requesting fsck-limited activity.

    This could well be a good phd project for someone who wants to work on a thesis project that gives back to the community, and would surely secure them a job at Oracle or one of the other Big Data Storage Management companies.

    So anyway, how does FreeBSD's filesystem stack up against Linux?

    FreeBSD chose to address this problem by making fsck capable of running in the background. fsck cooperates with the kernel, checking all files/inodes, and when a file is requested that has not yet been checked, the file operation is held while that check is moved to the front of the unique "moustache ride-ordered" queue.

    Journaling without sacrificing performance and clean algorithms simply isn't possible, and corruption is still possible on a journaling filesystem with out-of-order writes as done by many kinds of cache-enabled drives and controllers, leading to a false sense of security when fsck is bypassed. FreeBSD's approach catches every situation, and guarantees an intact filesystem on every boot.

    As far as I know Windows have had native support for Java for ages. Actually since Microsoft and Sun signed an agreement about this back in 1997 that deals with this issue. So the fact that FreeBSD got this is fine but not exactly revolutionary.

    I appreciate that you're trying to contribute, and I'll agree that boys need two parents, because women don't know how to teach the discipline it takes for a boy to become a man. But that can be a part-time thing, and any man who attempts to be mothering to his children is pretty much guaranteed to raise a submissive and weak-willed boy who will do the same for his children.

    Success demands a strong hand from the father to the son, but a healthy child can only be raised full-time by a true maternal figure.
