I read this just now in the Unix Guardian: <quote> BTRFS, pronounced ButterFS: BTRFS was launched in June 2007, and is a POSIX-compliant file system that will support very large files and volumes (16 exabytes) and a ridiculous number of files (two to the power of 64 files, to be precise). The file system has object-level mirroring and striping, checksums on data and metadata, online file system check, incremental backup and file system mirroring, subvolumes with their own file system roots, writable snapshots, and index and file packing to conserve space, among many other features. BTRFS is not anywhere near primetime, and Garbee figures it will take at least three years to get it out the door. </quote>
I thought that ZFS was/is the way to the future, but reading this it seems there are compatitors out there ;-) -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D ++ http://nagual.nl/ + SunOS sxce snv94 ++ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
