Star Tux3, a Versioning Filesystem
Linked by Amjith Ramanujam on Fri 25th Jul 2008 16:08 UTC, submitted by diegocg
Linux Daniel Phillips has announced the prototype design of a new linux filesystem (implementation has only begun). The most interesting thing seems to be a different way of implementing versioning: "Unlike the currently fashionable recursive copy on write designs with one tree root per version, Tux3 stores all its versioning information in the leaves of btrees using the versioned pointer algorithm. This method promises a significant shrinkage of metadata for heavily versioned filesystems as compared to ZFS and Btrfs".

Like the GPL-with-linking-exception license, it's not a new concept! As I said, it's main novelty is that it's GPL-incompatible.


So when gpl v3 is newer then the cddl it's still the cddl that should change so it would be compatible?


You should be ashamed of the end of your post..


Agree name calling like that doesnt help him to get his point across.
