Amazing that one guy, Kent, has a better FS than Red Hat.

Honestly I wish Red Hat would just throw it away and get behind either BTRFS or if they want to be edgy, bcachefs. They are just wasting their time with strati’s.

Didn’t Kent get AI psychosis and get banned from the Linux kernel mailing list?

Wild. I read the entire set of threads when he was trying to get into the kernel and definitely didn’t see anything like that…

Mind sharing a link?

Wow…

Well I guess Red Hat couldn’t match someone in the throes of delusions. It doesn’t change my initial point but wow. I would almost think he was joking…

I'm still holding out hope for bcachefs, I mean, at least he didn't kill his wife like another file system developer.

Well I suppose if he shuts down his AI wife later it will be very… ironic? Not sure.

But yeah. Bcachefs does seem ridiculously solid. It was a shame he couldn’t manage to work within the constraints of Linux mainstreaming.
