I was looking at file systems for Linux, Ubuntu in particular. I really like Sun's ZPF. ZPF's copy-on-write transaction model strikes me as the correct way to go. But ZPF lacks a GNU General Public License which blocks ZPF's adoption by the Linux kernel. This led me to btrfs.
I understand that the B-TRee File System is a "copy-on-write file system for Linux announced by Oracle in 2007 and published under the GNU General Public License (GPL)". For planning purposes, what timeframe do you see for releasing a stable version of btrfs? I am not a paying customer nor am I an annoying manager. I am just curious as to when I should plan to start paying closer attention. 4Q 2009? 2Q 2010? Ext4 is a jornaling file system. A copy-on-write file system should just be so much better. I find it hard to wait. :-) --Thank you, --Mike Ramsey -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
