I wonder how this compares to the TFS Filesystem written for the Redox-Os (both in Rust, too) https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...ystem-Rust-ZFS and https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...-OS-2016-State

Originally posted by macemoneta View PostThis 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?
Chris Mason is the principal author of Btrfs, the open source file system that’s seen as the default file system for SUSE Enterprise Linux. Mason started working on Btrfs at Oracle and then moved to Facebook where he continued to work on the file system as a member of the company’s Linux kernel team. When Facebook has new kernels that need to go out, Mason helps make sure that everything's been properly tested and meets performance needs.

It's great for home use, because it has the widest tool support though.

Stratis 4.0 = Poettering-FS.
Already has too many moving parts, dependency and it breaks easily.
At least ZFS or BTRFS are self containedLast edited by onicsis; 02 August 2017, 06:35 PM.

Seems to be no mentioning of checksumming or how they will deal with problems in all other userspace programs. I will use whatever that solves all problems first but I have a hard time seeing how Stratis can ever solve everything, or even enough things to outweigh the additional problems it will create.

In all that time it hasn't failed me. It properly corrected all of the bad data when one drive went bad. And it has been great to be able to rebalance to new RAID configurations without shutting down and restoring from backup.

I disagree on this one.
https://www.maketecheasier.com/best-...ystem-for-ssd/
maybe the overhead of journaling is acceptable and performance is more important than longer livetimes of ssds, But you should consider than ssd will replace year by year more harddisks even in data centers.
So you reduce the life-time of all of them. A journaling filesystem for a ssd world I dont get it.
I guess for that data centers righer speed > lifetime of hardware. But for home users the opposite is likely true. I would say whatever its their enterprise distro. But they implement it in fedora, where it makes little sense.
Thats the bad side about fedoras model, its only the test place for enterprise features, if your needs differ from enterprise needs, nobody cares I mean they will not remove btrfs support, at least on packet level but the installer could stopp supporting it. that can be a problem for users. It would lead to strange hacks that you cant use the normal installer anymore or stuff like that and somehow install it another way.
For a distro that has a chance to become a top player in the desktop linux sector a problem. Then most users keep using their garbage ubuntu based distros.
Even apple has now a COW filesystem, the linux / freebsd community had a advantage we got that faster, now we/they through that away for some strange hack that never will become as good as such filesystems. I will hear soon the first people that say you have to install apple for better filesystems than linux has.Last edited by blackiwid; 02 August 2017, 07:23 PM.
