Not that I'm advocating everyone spam him with their XFS questions, but Dave Chinner has always been helpful and responsive whenever I had informed questions for him. If you raised such a question on lkml or fsdevel directed at him, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if you (and everyone subscribed) saw a helpful response in a timely manner.
- jeffbee 3y agoYou might be right, and I have no reason to doubt the expertise and helpfulness of this individual. However, in my experience, it’s often true that the developers of software are not experts in the systems-level performance and efficiency questions. So I’d love to read about some hard data relevant to the question, some kind of metadata-heavy benchmark or something.
