linux file systems

Btrfs has received much of the limelight on Linux when talking about file-systems since it promises to compete with Sun's ZFS file-system and introduce several features not found in the commonly-used EXT3 and EXT4 file-systems.

However, work on other Linux file-systems hasn't halted.

Phoronix: "Btrfs has received much of the limelight on Linux when talking about file-systems since it promises to compete with Sun's ZFS file-system and introduce several features not found in the commonly-used EXT3 and EXT4 file-systems.

However, work on other Linux file-systems hasn't halted. EXT4 should be stable with the Linux 2.6.28 kernel and work on the Tux3 file-system continues."

"In hindsight it seems somewhat tragic that JFS or even XFS didn't gain the traction that ext3 did to pull us through the 'classic' era, but ext3 has proven very reliable and has received consistent care and ...

"In hindsight it seems somewhat tragic that JFS or even XFS didn't gain the traction that ext3 did to pull us through the 'classic' era, but ext3 has proven very reliable and has received consistent care and feeding to keep it performing decently.

... With ext4 coming out in kernel 2.6.28, we should have a nice holdover until Btrfs or Tux3 begin to stabilize.

Hallinan's book presents a balanced tour of the basic knowledge required for an embedded Linux design effort. The subject is exceedingly large and the author wisely chooses to focus on essentials such as tools, debugging, and architecture. There is less...

Despite the outcry from the open source faithful, Linux file systems will require some changes to handle the 100 TB environments that will become commonplace in the not too distant future.
