An introduction to btrfs, from somebody who used to work on ZFS:
http://www.osnews.com/story/21920/A_Short_History_of_btrfs
*very* interesting article.. Not sure why James didn't directly link to
it, but courteous of Valerie Aurora (formerly Henson)
http://lwn.net/Articles/342892/
I'm trying to understand the argument against the SLAB allocator
approach. If I understood correctly how BTRFS allocates space, changing
and deleting files may just punch randomly sized holes into the disk
layout. How's that better?
Regards,
