Weird or hard to explain problems with #linux. If you use #selinux, first step is to check #filesystem #security labels. Over the last 12 years, most of my weird unexplained sudden problems have been due to bad/wrong labeling.

Dry-run: `restorecon -Rvn /`.

See if what is being reported and possibly recognizable for your issues. Then run without `-n`.

Corrupting a ZFS File: Fun exploration of figuring out how to bash the bits on a raw disk to deliberately trigger file corruption for ZFS to detect and correct

Corrupting a ZFS File on Purpose

Most of the time, the whole point of ZFS is that your data does not get corrupted. But during development you sometimes need the opposite: a controlled, reproducible corruption, so you can watch self-healing kick in, see what a scrub reports, or just understand how a file maps onto the physical disk. There is no better exercise than breaking one byte on purpose and seeing ZFS notice.

🚀 Behold, the latest tech marvel: a #filesystem from Philip that manages to store absolutely NOTHING. 😂 Just what the developer world needed: another empty innovation to complicate GitHub's menu jungle! 🌳🔍

Finally! The upgraded adaptive #filesystem I have been looking for. Abstracted from #FreeBSD, #linuxbased, #MacOS, #iOS, and #Windows OSes.

This layout should be sufficient to simplify the app packaging process making the entire production pipeline clean and tidy.

Enjoy!

Building on FUSE in Rust tends to involve a lot of boilerplate. libfuse-fs is an attempt to change that - trait-based abstractions, async I/O, overlay and passthrough support out of the box.

At Oxidize 2026, Ruiji Yu (Nanjing University) covers the design and lessons from real integrations: monorepo access and container image building.

Ah yes, the mystical lost+found folder: where forgotten files meet their afterlife 🤔. Apparently, Linux and Unix enthusiasts need a sacred space to store their digital socks 🧦. Who knew that missing bits would have their own VIP lounge in the filesystem? 🎉

What is the purpose of the lost+found folder in Linux and Unix?

There is a folder at the root of Linux and Unix operating systems called /lost+found/ What is it for? Under what circumstances would I interact with it? How would I interact with it?

Default external media mount location seems to have changed in 26.04

In Ubuntu versions previous to 26.04 the default mount point for automatically mounted removable media (by GNOME?), like USB drives, external HDDs, SD cards, etc., was something like /media/<use...

I spent a whole blog post doing #ZFS on-disk math by hand - just to corrupt one byte and watch #OpenZFS healing process.

Interested?

Feel free to join the journey into the on-disk jungle.
