| thafreak | "Red Hat will not be moving Btrfs to a fully supported feature and it will be removed in a future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux." | 01:57 |
| Unit193 | So I saw, odd. | 02:06 |
| dzho | ayup | 02:35 |
| dzho | so, a couple of things might be going on there. | 02:36 |
| dzho | some of the scuttlebut from hacker news and linux weekly news is just that Redhat doesn't have and can't get the personnel to commit to it long term. | 02:36 |
| dzho | one point of reference is that they are deep into XFS and XFS has grown a lot of features to keep it compelling. | 02:37 |
| dzho | eg, snapshots are on the way. | 02:37 |
| dzho | one also wonders whether Redhat will buy into the Eben Moglen/Canonical view on the question of the compatibility of ZFS and Linux. | 02:38 |
| dzho | The FSF and SFLC say there is a license conflict that keeps them from being shipped in binary form together. Moglen/Canonical say that's the letter of the licenses, but the spirit of the licenses is such that it's ok. | 02:39 |
| Unit193 | Yeah someone I was talking to uses XFS at work, and was telling me of some of the nice features. | 02:39 |
| dzho | XFS is also old, which is a nice thing in an FS. | 02:39 |
| dzho | In Jan/Feb of last year, the ZFS+Ubuntu stuff came out. There was some fur that flew. | 02:40 |
| dzho | It *may* just be incidental that Moglen left as FSF counsel last fall. | 02:41 |
| dzho | coincidental* | 02:41 |
| dzho | parallel to this you've got Linux lambasting SFLC for doing GPL compliance stuff (eg, the VMWare stuff). | 02:42 |
| dzho | s/Linux/Linus/ | 02:50 |
| jenni | dzho meant to say: parallel to this you've got Linus lambasting SFLC for doing GPL compliance stuff (eg, the VMWare stuff). | 02:50 |
