dirk dierickxFTRS - is a Fault-Tolerant Radiation-Robust #Filesystem for #linux designed for use in #Space
Not happy with world domination alone, Linux is set out to conquer the universe!

Website backup crippled by 1.6MB Friends GIF that was replicated 246,173 times, breaking Linux's EXT4 filesystem limit — Jennifer Aniston's 'happy dance' animation ate up 377 gigabytes of data due to security policy
Admins were not happy. Initial attempts to resolve the issue by replacing files with hardlinks also failed due to ext4’s 65,000 hardlink limit.

Jesús EspinoNew article: Btrfs 🌳
The Linux filesystem that never overwrites data. Every write goes to a new location.
Snapshots, RAID, per-block checksums with auto-repair on RAID, atomic transactions, all built into the filesystem.
Btrfs | Internals for Interns
In the previous article , we explored XFS—a filesystem built for extreme scale that divides the disk into independent Allocation Groups, each with its own B+ trees for free space, inodes, and extent tracking. XFS, like every filesystem we’ve covered in this series, shares one fundamental characteristic with ext4, NTFS, and FAT32: it modifies data in place. When you update a block, the new data overwrites the old data at the same disk location.
HoldMyTypeUnix domain sockets operate differently from regular files. The permissions on the socket file itself determine access, so even if the directory is mounted as read-only (:ro), any process can still connect to the socket if it has the appropriate permissions

grizeldiDoes anyone know what's the backstory of the 260 characters absolute path length limit in #windows? Feels like a rather arbitrary limation.
It ends up causing all kinds of problems in various software. In #git I managed to get it solved by activating longer paths in registry, but #unity3d has the path length limit hardcoded apparently...

DanielOpen-Source replacement for Amiga CD filesystem: ODFileSystem
Stefan Reinauer has written a modern open-source replacement for the Amiga CD filesystem, with support for ISO 9660, Rock Ridge, Joliet, UDF, HFS, HFS+ and virtual CDDA audio tracks.
