Hi,
so far, discussing filesystem code via opensolaris
means a certain
"specialization", in the sense that we do have:
zfs-discuss
ufs-discuss
fuse-discuss
Likewise, there are ZFS, NFS and UFS communities
(though I can't quite
figure out if we have nfs-discuss ?).
What's not there is a generic "FS thingies not in
either of these". I.e. a
forum with the purpose of talking filesystem code in
general (how to port
a *BSD filesystem, for example), or to contribute and
discuss community
filesystem patches or early-access code.
Internally, we've been having a fs-interest mailing
list for such a
purpose for decades - why no generic "FS forum" on
OpenSolaris.org ?
There's more filesystems in the world than just ZFS,
NFS and UFS. We do
have the legacy stuff, but there's also SMB/CIFS,
NTFS, Linux-things, etc.
etc. etc.; I think these alone will never be
high-volume enough to warrant
communities or even discussion lists of their own,
but combined there's
surely enough to fill one mailing list ?
Why _not_ have a
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and a fs
community
that deals with anything that's not [NUZ]FS ?
Thanks for some thoughts on this,
FrankH.

Hi Frank,
I'm about to discuss/announce some changes that are coming within
the next few months into ONNV. My understanding is that ufs-
discuss is the right place to talk about generic file system issues.
As I was scanning through old threads, I found this one. Are there
plans to create a "file system code" list/community? Is the ufs-
discuss alias still the right place at present to discuss VFS-level
changes?
As one of the leaders of the FUSE project I'd really like to see a
general file-system community.... one which encompasses all Solaris
filesystems (including ZFS and UFS).
Cheers,
-Mark
Thanks,
Rich
