Hi,
so far, discussing filesystem code via opensolaris means a certain
"specialization", in the sense that we do have:
zfs-discuss
ufs-discuss
fuse-discuss
Likewise, there are ZFS, NFS and UFS communities (though I can't quite
figure out if we have nfs-discuss ?).
What's not there is a generic "FS thingies not in either of these". I.e. a
forum with the purpose of talking filesystem code in general (how to port
a *BSD filesystem, for example), or to contribute and discuss community
filesystem patches or early-access code.
Internally, we've been having a fs-interest mailing list for such a
purpose for decades - why no generic "FS forum" on OpenSolaris.org ?
There's more filesystems in the world than just ZFS, NFS and UFS. We do
have the legacy stuff, but there's also SMB/CIFS, NTFS, Linux-things, etc.
etc. etc.; I think these alone will never be high-volume enough to warrant
communities or even discussion lists of their own, but combined there's
surely enough to fill one mailing list ?
Why _not_ have a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and a fs community
that deals with anything that's not [NUZ]FS ?
Thanks for some thoughts on this,
FrankH.
