Hello Everyone,

Great reading of the interview indeed, thank you for posting Jack!  :)

> Let's face it--We're addicted! To files that is. More importantly, we are addicted to the massively large and ever increasing storage devices upon which we store those files. Make no mistake though, like any addiction, storing content comes at a cost and usually those costs are paid at the filesystem level. We all want more space and we all want better performance when it comes to disk I/O and a junkie's wishlist never ends.

> Fedora 11, when released tomorrow, will be the first distribution to boast the inclusion of ext4, the latest incarnation in the extended file system family, as default. Ext4 brings with it support for larger filesystems, larger single file size and many improvements in almost every imaginable facet. Join me for an interview with Eric Sandeen, renown file system hacker, Red Hat Engineer and Fedora Contributor as he takes on a little trip down Filesystem Alley and explains what filesystems are, where did they come from, why should we care and why they along with Fedora 11 are prepping to take over the WOOOOORLD!

Is question 4, correct?  :)

I like question 5's answer I am trying to get a better understanding of ext4.  May be we will find out that the new Google Data Center's file systems will be employing ext4...  ;)

I like question 7's answer, too and as an adventurous user, I will try out the BtrFS on one of my test systems after the Fedora 11 release.  :)

Please have a great day!  :~)



Thank You

Sincerely
