What are you trying to achieve? A file system, any system for that matter, is only good for as long as there are drivers to decode the format in which they are written. My concern would be to store whatever data you have in the simplest format you can think of and thoroughly document it. I don't think any file system is trying to solve that problem. To me the things that spring to my mind are cpio, tar, zip, torrent, zsync, etc.
- warrenm 5y agoThe question is intentionally open-ended - though some filesystems are going to be inherently "wrong" to mention (eg the old MSDOS FAT) because they don't support large enough files, etc All those file formats you mention have to live somewhere - and that's something I've yet to see anyone write/speak much (if at all?) about
