In answer to this specific question... here's the white paper on ext3 that I was looking for previously: http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/ext3/ Note this is not breaking news: that paper was written in 2001 when Red Hat Linux 7.2 came out. Perhaps the situation with the other filesystems has changed now. But I agree, it's much better to understand why decisions are made the way they are, and I hope that this new development model, with more input from and communication to the community, well result in much more of this kind of understanding. --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer jeremyp pobox com trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
