That said - good idea/approach; seems like an excellent way to cleanly extend the unix approach to structured file formats:)

- galkk 3y agoOp’s ffs do not target FreeBSD and it l seems like referenced system is FreeBSD only. Claiming naming rights is a stretch here
- eichin 3y agoThat's ahistorical. FFS is the berkeley Fast File System, from BSD 4.2, in 1983.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoFFS predates FreeBSD and is in some capacity supported by all 3 major BSDs. I'm fairly confident that Linux actually supports it through the ufs driver ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/fs/ufs https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/fs/ufs ); whether the use of different names in different places makes it better or worse is an exercise for the reader.
- tambourine_man 3y agoThere's another expansion to that acronym that I can think of. I think the joke is implied.
- irusensei 3y agoYeah please rename it to JFS (JSON File System). Oh wait...
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoThere is a reason I suggested "filefs"; 3 chars isn't really enough to easily be unambiguous.
