Great article! Posted Sep 9, 2009 16:36 UTC (Wed) by dwheeler (guest, #1216) [Link] I agree, great article. Thanks for putting this in perspective. I appreciate the side comment that something like this should submitted to the next version of the POSIX standard. Standards authors try to document the expectations of users and implementers, and sometimes they omit something important. It'd be hard to nail down the exact expectation, but it'd be worth it.

I think we can shorten that to, simply, "Everyone listen to Valerie."

I don't usually do "Me too!". But in this case, I will make an exception. Absolutely, listen to Valerie, Goddess of Sanity in the world of Linux/Unix filesystems. And whom I've always suspected was Stephen Tweedie's long lost twin sister, separated at birth.

And keep in mind the Linux file system mantra:
«Valerie is always right.
(Stolen from B5)
