Red Hat Developers Announce Work On New "Composefs" File-System

[ll1025]

So first Stratis and now Composefs? I know they are different but still, two filesystems in development by the same company seems like a bit much to me.

Stratis is not a filesystem.

I think there's an XKCD comic about this...

Stratis is not a filesystem.

... Then shouldn't it be renamed SINAF?

I was hoping composefs would do the equivalent of read only compressed initramfs-mounts with encryption.

You know Michael would probably get a lot of extra free time if he didn't write so many articles about the announcement of a new filesystem for an extremely specific edgecase thats only really applicable in like one datacenter.

That's not the situation here though. Composefs use cases include ostree (which is used by among other things, Flatpak). This isn't an edge case or data center specific.

that would also apply to you (and me, btw) if we didn't comment every Phoronix article when we have nothing interesting to say!

Stratis is not a File System, its a Daemon

Does this support JackD ? It's essential for my composition flow.

The obvious use of composefs is to create a tragic opera about Hans Reiser.
