Hi,
Copying the link that prasad sent, just to make the thread easier to follow.
An interview with Hans Reiser...http://kerneltrap.org/node/5654
Ok, done. Now what? Anybody in for writing a plugin? I havent had any experience with filesystems. If there is one who has, they can lead this. Or we can start off with a few discussions.
I don't think I can survive if I get involved in plugins now, but there is a good deal of info I found from the www.namesys.com site, under the Reiser4 tab on the left...
Particularly, these are good: - design flaws in the Unix directory interface. - why B+ trees are better than B- trees - (so called) dancing trees - how filesystems handle crashing PCs. - wandering journals
Also check out their benchmark page and compare with http://www.sun.com/software/whitepapers/solaris10/fs_performance.pdf. where sun claims that their UFS on Solaris can significantly outperform ext3 and reiserfs (not reiser4),although the test is a year old,has some good sound bytes...
Dont mean to make too much noise about list etiquettes, but please take note of it. Where's that "omnipotent, omniscient, ..." listadmin??
