Ah, but the project isn't new, so I guess it's not a new problem
- agumonkey 8y agoWe're slowly converging toward correct spelling though.
- codetrotter 8y agoPronounce btrfs as “butter fs” and betrfs as “bee-turr fs” or something, then there is no confusion ;) But yeah I agree, betrfs and btrfs are way too similar names.
- stephenr 8y agoI can’t beleive it’s not butrfs.
- muterad_murilax 8y agoYour sound a bit bitrfs.
- nialv7 8y agoI think it's intended to be pronounced as "better fs"
- chx 8y agoAAAAAAAH I always wondered why on earth they named a filesystem after Soviet armored personal carriers. But no, it's "betterfs" without the vowels. Got it.
- loeg 8y agoI had guessed they replaced btrfs' B-trees with Bε-trees. Anyway, I don't think there is much concern -- this seems like academic/corporate abandonwaware more as a proof of concept than anything else.
- farach 8y agoBtrFS stands for B-tree File System. BetrFS stands for B^{\epsilon}-tree File System. They are both named after their primary data structure.
