Hmmm...

Not much about Ext3, even though Redhat seems to prefer it to the others [slashdot.org]...

JFS in the kernel?!?!?

[Ignacio]

Yeah, right! Have you seen the code for it? It is a horrid mess. I tried digging through it, and soon found that I would have to rewrite it from the ground up. I'm not surprised LT et al. don't want it in Linux. It's a nice FS, but it's NOT ready to go into the kernel.

JFS pulled from Mandrake 8.1

Interesting review.

On MandrakeForum the latest news about filesystems is that JFS will be pulled from Mandrake 8.1.

There was done a test with a buildup/takedown of 100.000 files.
In the case of JFS the deleting of those files caused a hard kernel crash.

Seems there is some work to be done, despite it being a 1.0 release.

And hey, what's up with this html here?
Seems only plain text works right for me.
