    Ext4 is currently the best filesystem for normal users since its very stable and is the fastest overall. But for the future they need many new features that aren't part of ext4 design (and also great performance, maybe thats why btrfs is not an option anymore), so this may be a great idea.
    or another wast of time why they don0t joint forces and make a EXT5? But ok RedHat do what they want

          This seems like an odd direction to me. It will take 1-2 years to release the new software that ties together the filesystem and services needed. Then what, 6-12 months to stabilize for production use? They're saying BTRFS won't be acceptable in that timeframe, even though it's used by Facebook for their infrastructure today?

          XFS also doesn't do data CRC (metadata only), a big step back in data integrity. Unless they are going to add that feature to the filesystem? This just seems weird to me.

            note the difference from usual suspects Canonical pulled off... not NIH, it is reuse of existing technologies

            also, as soon as Canonical stepped down from NIH and "market with almost FUD before making" wagon, most people that criticized changed their tone. now anything about Canonical receives controversial feedback really rarely

              XFS wasn't invented by RedHat either so maybe you should think of a better answer than a stale cliche.

                Unlike Canonical, in Redhat they know what they do.

                    You made your original post in reply to a complaint that RedHat didn't adopt EXT4 as the default underlying filesystem.

                      ... and in 10 years the Stratis developers will still be trying to beat down all those pesky RAID bugs, etc.

                      C'mon give us a concrete design or GTFO and just support an exsting well-designed effort.
