minus-square pimeys ( @pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io ) linkfedilink25•16 days agoTed is the maintainer of ext4 and there are not many people in the world who understand this code. For Rust to succeed, it has to get the subsystem maintainers to agree. It is going to be many years of petting very angry bobcats… And that is not even the worst I’ve heard, makes you a bit numb if you follow LKML.

minus-square pimeys ( @pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io ) linkfedilink5•15 days agoYeah. Isn’t it funny that the most popular file system in the world has such a codebase, and it is not even well documented how it works! I have my reasons to choose XFS or bcachefs with my machines.
