Async communication in distributed systems can produce data inconsistency. Components operate independently and may hold different views of system state — requiring explicit protocols to achieve eventual consistency across all services.

@wolf480pl Sure why not, that can be a nice reference addition to the danluu #filesystem & files stuff (https://danluu.com/file-consistency/).

#DataConsistency #DataIntegrity

Files are hard

@robpike I would rather maintain that it has been a degradation from the persistent objects which several contemporary systems could use.

Neither did they silo you into solely using them with a particular program though.

But the unix model of #filesystem #storage has been a nightmare for #metadata, and non-transactional filesystems in general for #DataConsistency & #integrity.

A #PersistentObject #database served by a #capability broker would be far superior for security and data management.

@mia @chjara Of course none of those filesystems provide any sort of #DataConsistency guarantees, they solely provide #DataIntegrity. That means any write that doesn't fit within a low-level transaction (in btrfs and maybe zfs) as well as all streaming writes done by a program are at risk of data corruption should the program crash or the power go out.

Any concerns of consistency have to be handled in software, such as a #database. Which basically no one does (for desktop programs, anyway). :/

@disarray It's fucked on #btrfs so no.

It's ostensibly okay on #ZFS. But I'm using cheap & slow HDDs so resilvering risk means nope. For an SSD array it's perfectly fine.

More generally I don't really trust #filesystems, maintaining #DataIntegrity is all nice & sweet but without #DataConsistency it loses a lot of practical value.

Shit still gets corrupted unless you're using a #database atop those integrity-preserving filesystems.
