It makes it sound like one guy came up with it and wrote it on his own over the course of a year. I think they have a lot of hands on this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254802806210780775.post-72928635521334393212009-01-15T12:17:00.000-05:002009-01-15T12:17:00.000-05:00ext4 is stable, and the kernel support is in 2.6.28, which is what ubuntu jaunty 9.04 is based on. It won't be the default file system for jaunty, but most likely it will for the next ubuntu (9.10)The Updaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16254571261369905481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254802806210780775.post-66753046377136499542009-01-15T12:12:00.000-05:002009-01-15T12:12:00.000-05:00I'm using ZFS now on a bunch of x5400's and it does most of what the writer of this article talked. But I have noticed that ZFS in my experience. I had a drive fail in a Raid-z setup and expected the hotspares to take over. This did not occur for some reason. Sun Tech support informed me that manual intervention was need to get the hot spares to take over the failed drive. I was under the impression that ZFS was going to force the hot spare to take over the failed drive but it didn't. Have any of you guys experienced this issue? Anyway, I can wait until ext4 and btrfs is production ready.Ezra Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04737577495093851536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254802806210780775.post-35111364420503116402009-01-15T11:16:00.000-05:002009-01-15T11:16:00.000-05:00Well, I published the troll comment.

Windows 7 will wipe the floor with all other operating systems. Microsoft FTW.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
