In my own testing, I just found JFS to be highly confusable (breakable). This weird sort of evolution of the version out of OS/2, well, it in many ways stood alone.

It's the kind of problems i expect to see with bcachefs in the 6.8 development window.Last edited by stormcrow; 02 November 2023, 06:03 AM.
