The only thing I haven't found in zfs yet, is metadata etc info.
The previous 'next best thing' in FS was of course ReiserFS (4).
Reiser3
was quite a nice thing, fast, journaled and all that, but Reiser4
promised to bring all those things that we see emerging now, like
cross
FS search, any document, audio recording etc could be instantly
searched. True there is google desktop search, trackerd and what not,
but those are 'afterthoughts', not supported by the underlying FS.
So does ZFS support features like metadata and such? or is that
for zfs2?
:)
Without getting too far into political/personal debates,
Reiser has
promised a lot and not done very well delivering for common case ...
Do you mean a simple fs? Reiser3 certainly delivers, and R4 is stable
according to the list.
What real advantages do you see doing this _in_ the
filesystem layer?
I can certainly see hooks being added where needed for the indexing
system
to interface -- but the core indexing and searching code does not
seem to
fit well in FS land.
...except it's not really been tried. If R4 had been merged we would
at least have some experiential data to work with.
