Some of the ones I have heard listed are: 1. Ability to grow a FS 2. Ability to shrink a FS 3. Acess control lists on files and file systems 4. Extensibility. (The ability to easily add new features to the filesystem without having to rewrite utilities such as fsck) What else should we be considering? (Obviously any file system that would be written would have to be stable, fast and efficient) Should the file system use b-trees? What other technologies should such a file system make use of? -Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
