I think what the OP means is that you can be in any filesystem without needing to put much thought into it (regardless of the very real differences in implementation). Advanced users who want to interface with the details can do that, but for the rest of us consistency can be good.
- robertlagrant 6y agoIsn't the same level of detail needed for init as for different filesystems?
- gmueckl 6y agoExcept that file systems aren't consistent on Linux. FAT and NTFS can't represent Unix permission bits. File systems reorder operations internally in some ways user space programs don't expect. NFS mounts may not be able to guarantee exclusive file locks...
- kreetx 6y agoAbsolutely. What I'm saying is that I personally don't need to know about this. I suspect that OOM's behavior is of similar effect to most developers.
