Here I repost a composite of my old comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14542595 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14542595 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14546682 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14546682 from a previous occasion when this was discussed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14537650 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14537650 . I confess to a certain amount of annoyance that the author of this document asked for feedback on this website, but after getting that feedback didn't (afaics) update the site to make any mention of Namesys or ReiserFS/Reiser4. > Well, since you ask, here's Hans Reiser's old stuff: https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Future_Vision https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Future_Vision https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/V4 https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/V4 (and http://lwn.net/2001/1108/a/reiser4-transaction.php3 http://lwn.net/2001/1108/a/reiser4-transaction.php3 ) . And here's some emails etc. I wrote in response: https://web.archive.org/web/20040728044342/http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~lrc1/pathname_metadata.html https://web.archive.org/web/20040728044342/http://www.st-and... https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=111624697710426 https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=111624697710426 https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg09880.html https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg09... https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg20060.html https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg20... https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg20061.html https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg20... https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg20063.html https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg20... https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg20214.html https://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg20... , plus some of the discussion threaded from those posts. (Sorry, my stuff needs rewriting and updating but I'm not in the position to do it at present. If there's anything you would like to ask about please do. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9809041 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9809041 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10548477 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10548477 touch on things that are a bit further down the line, but related—in particular, to the handling of "internal metadata" and files with a compound internal structure.)
