That's indeed an interesting question. I'd say to some extend it's answered in |
| 12 |
[1]. However, to me it looks like just another filesystem in the classical |
| 13 |
sense. The one that really brings something new to the Linux filesystem world |
| 14 |
will be btrfs. I've already tried some older versions of it and it looks very |
| 15 |
promising. Volumes, RAID, data integrity, etc, all integrated into the |
| 16 |
filesystem, similar to Suns ZFS. |
