Not "Fourth" --- Fifth!Not "Fourth" --- Fifth!Posted Sep 17, 2002 16:14 UTC (Tue) by Peter (guest, #1127)In reply to: Not "Fourth" --- Fifth! by AnswerGuy Parent article: Linus merges XFS
XFS will become the fifth journaling filesystem in the mainstream kernel. Heh, actually the sixth if one counts NTFS. Of course, the Linux NTFS implementation doesn't journal anything, but the reference implementation (or can you call it that when it's legally perilous to actually refer to it, from a free software POV?) does. Yes, I know I just confused "filesystem on-disk layout spec" with "filesystem implementation", but people seem to do that a lot when talking about filesystems.... Speaking of nothing, what's up with the jbd? (The journal block device is an abstraction layer invented by the ext3 folks, intended to be used by all journalling fs's, but still isn't.) Does anyone outside ext3 ever plan to use it?
