Regardless of the source, it's still exciting (and very excellent) news. The scalability issues that are mentioned may not mean much for a desktop user, but for large-scale use it's...oy.
Most of the discussion is way off track. The issue is not which is the best filesystem in the Linux world, neither it is about ditching reiserfs and being forced to use another one. Any one wanting to will be able to use the same filesystems we are able to use today. The issue is simply which filesystem will Yast offer by default for the user, so that Joe Click-Enter can still press "enter" and be done. And just for the record, I don't think XFS would be a good choice, contrary to the discussion there. It makes use of RAM a lot, so that you must use a UPS to avoid disaster on power failure - and most of Joe User do not. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
