Thanks for the tip, but... Nah! I need something mature and proven,
not something where the "ToDo"- list reads longer than Tolstoy's "War
and Peace"... Nor the feature list, for that matter. I'm perfectly
content with ordinary ufs/ffs/ffs2 functionality, with the "small"
addition to my wishlist of journaling, to cut down recovery times.
Robust stability really is the key feature of any file system in my
opinion. I'm not much into the Linux mentality of experimentation and
always gravitating towards the coolest, latest greatest new technology
that someone just thought up. I'd rather go with the time-honoured,
trusted and proven.
Not that there's something inherently wrong with technological progress,
far from it! But I personally deal with systems that are in production
24/7 and I can't afford even the remotest possibility of something as
crucial as the file system to fuck up on me.
It's not called "bleeding edge" for nothing, you know. :-)
