hi
every few weeks i read a announcement on freshmeat for a new jfs drop from
ibm. this is marketing!
reiserfs was hardly pushed in the stock kernel by its users and developers.
it was/is not ready. (has reiserfs a working fsck/repair utility now?)
Don't know, I lost a partition with reiserfs once and have placed it under
a curse for the rest of my life. _I_ will _never_ use it again.
i think/feel linux-xfs is 99.x% ready to go into the offical kernel, _but_
i dont know it. it has to be proven by a lot of installations and waiting
some time.
Evil plan: Get alan to include it in his -ac series. That should be fun and
you get more testers (although not nearly as much as in the standard kernel ;)
there should be more advertisment for linux-xfs. imho xfs is the _best_ fs
for linux today, but euphoric should not make blind.
please, please dont force it with a crowbar like the reiserfs fans done
this.
I recommend some other people I get into contact with to test it and see if
it works for them. I made contact with a journalist from fnl.nl (which does
the Dutch translation of the c't computer magazine. http://www.heise.de/ct/)
And if I stand correct they will have a test with the available journaling
fs and a article to go with it that would be targeted for month 6/7.
Although the target date is not confirmed this is what the person hinted at.
We might just get some good press :-)
after all, it's linus decision.

And if lot's of people outside the developers say it's ok and works for
them in production cases Linus can be convinced to merge it.

Has anybody seen my lightbulb?
I _really_ need some light here.
