- rb2k_ 16y agoFinally somebody using JFS... I could never figure out why you read so little about the filesystem. Seems to be fast, mature and not all that CPU intensive. I also wonder why they're not using something like gluster fs to replicate data over several nodes. data seems to be pretty local at backblaze.
