Maybe you're doing different things from me. btrfs subvol create, delete, snapshot, mkfs, ... For me, both ZFS and BTRFS have "normal" user interfaces and/or command syntax. > 1) Change the stupid name. "Btrfs" is neither a pronounceable word nor a > good acromyn. "ButterFS" sounds stupid. Just call it "BFS" or something, > please. LOL. Well, for what it's worth, there are three common pronunciations for btrfs. Butterfs, Betterfs, and B-Tree FS (because it's based on b-trees.) Check wikipedia. (This isn't really true, but I like to joke, after saying something like that, I wrote the wikipedia page just now.) ;-) Speaking of which. zettabyte filesystem. ;-) Is it just a dumb filesystem with a lot of address bits? Or is it something that offers functionality that other filesystems don't have? .... ;-) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
