Is this the same "zstd" compression used in Fedora's btrfs transparent block level compression? I have been thoroughly impressed with it in Fedora 34. If that's true, I had no idea that it was a Facebook project. Color me shocked.
- terrelln 5y agoYeah, it is. The Linux kernel is currently using zstd-1.3.1, and I'm working on getting it updated to the latest zstd version.
- post-factum 5y agoLooking forward to having modern zstd in-kernel! Thanks for your efforts.
- rubyist5eva 5y agoThank you for the great work!
- greatgoat420 5y agoFacebook actually does a decent amount of work on Fedora, and were even part of the force behind using btrfs as the default.
- gliptic 5y agoIt wasn't originally. Facebook hired Yann Collet well after zstd was a working thing.
- ipsum2 5y agoAccording to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs the core developers of brtfs work at Facebook. > In June 2012, Chris Mason left Oracle for Fusion-io, which he left a year later with Josef Bacik to join Facebook. While at both companies, Mason continued his work on Btrfs.[27][17]
