Speakin...Nice posting, I couldn't agree more..<br /><br />Speaking of flash filesystems, UBIFS looks great - in both design & linux implementation. What do you think of it?StalkRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113480981262771031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427258967255390991.post-6472448134392342082010-10-15T17:07:41.524+08:002010-10-15T17:07:41.524+08:00Sure, it's bad that we don't have dumb fla...Sure, it's bad that we don't have dumb flash drives with smart software filesystems. But it seems clear to me why we don't. Even in their current form, SSDs are orders of magnitude faster than spinning disk and have 100% backwards compatibility with existing systems. <br /><br />Nobody was going to write a fancy new filesystem for drive tech that didn't even exist in theory.<br /><br />Now we have this first step, the path to using smarter tech is open. This whole process reminds me of AHCI. First there were SATA drives in "IDE compatibibility mode". Then AHCI was added as an option, nowadays it's the default.<br /><br />PS, prediction: log structured filesystems will be the microkernel of the next few years.checkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154505837691953449noreply@blogger.com
