- Dalewyn 3y agodirectfs has nothing to do with DirectX. I find it deeply ironic this needs to be said here.
- dontlaugh 3y agoDirectStorage does, thought.
- Dalewyn 3y agoAh... Okay, I think I see how the comment should have been read now...? I will blame whoever named directfs for using a confounding name one way or the other. :V
- bee_rider 3y agoI think the comment which was in response to mine is pretty ambiguous, it isn’t obvious to me what they mean by “here” (in the article, in the comment I responded to, or in my comment?).
- ayush_ranjan 3y agoAuthor of the blog here. Point taken. In retrospect, directfs is not a good name as it gives the impression of a new filesystem implemention. I should have named this more along the lines of "direct access mode" as some of you have pointed out. Thanks for the feedback.
- ninepoints 3y agoAs the other commenter wrote, I was replying directly to the parent and was referring to DirectStorage. I use DirectX apis daily haha
