Are any of the distro vendors taking _any_ interest? I'm still
perplexed that the distro vendors haven't seriously looked at XFS,
or at least it appears they have not. IMHO, it's time for them to
"step up to the plate" and start supporting a JFS that does all they
want.
BTW, I see RedHat has added the Ext3 patch to their 2.4.5-0.2.9
release, but I've see nothing but "problems" on the Ext3 list
(although a lot are Ext2 issues under 2.4.x as well). IMHO, I think
Tweedie/RedHat should just focus on getting full data journaling
complete (I'm still wondering why I tried to do meta-data
journaling) and leave any "advanced" features to other JFS' like
XFS. But I'm not going to start a whole flamewar on that (let alone
knock all that Tweedie has done and continues to do).
