message: Does it make sense to still call HDFS under development? The project now claims stable release to be 1.0.4 and HDFS is widely popular.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.173.34 (talk) 13:55, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

message: As far as I can tell, AFS clients can fail over to another server automatically.
Why is it then not listed as "fault tolerant" ?
Sorry that I don't have a reference, but the G should be able to help you out.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.134.6.100 (talk) 07:25, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Both NFS and AFS may run with several read-only servers with automatic fail over. But read/write operation with multiple servers or automatic failover is trickier and is as far as I know not built into AFS. Please correct me if I am wrong here. --JerkerNyberg (talk) 10:12, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Disk encryption systems do not organize files but use other file systems for that purpose so IMHO there's no reason for them to be listed here. --StenSoft (talk) 15:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Why do we list FUSE, LUFS, etc. in this special-purpose FS's section?  These aren't filesystems at all.  These are just mechanisms for building FS's in userspace.  While I can understand the reason for listing them in an FS article, it would be better (and clearer) for them to be in their own section as non-Filesystems.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.81.169 (talk) 02:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed Mnesia since it is a DB and I don't see other DBs listed here.  If Mnesia is included, why not CouchDB, or Berkely DB?  Again, perhaps a clearer focus would help for this page.  Perhaps Key/Value filesystems should not even be on this page, perhaps they should be on a DB page?  I don't think it would be appropriate to add gdbm to this list, so why should something similar but distributed by listed here as a filesystem?  I know there is a lot of overlap between filesystems and databases, but pure databases are not listed here.  One things that perhaps should be required to be on this page: file based (if record based, then why call it a file system, call it a DB).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.99.237 (talk) 19:55, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I can't figure out if HashCache  belongs on this list. Does it count as a file system?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.241.249.74 (talk) 08:05, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The paper describes it as a storage engine for a cache; I assume it operates on top of a conventional disk filesystem. If so, then I would say no, HashCache is not itself a filesystem. -- Beland (talk) 18:37, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

message: I'd like to add information about the abilities of fs to connect to servers/cells/peer which are identified by domain names and might have changing IPv4s (dynamic DNS/DDNS). Imo it only makes sense when the information in list-form is transformed into a table. Any one opposed? Zgh (talk) 09:56, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

message: https://www.betrfs.org/ 
The Bε-tree File System, or BetrFS, is an in-kernel file system that uses Bε trees to organize on-disk storage. Bε trees are a write-optimized dictionary, and offer the same asymptotic behavior for sequential I/O and point queries as a B-tree. The advantage of a B ε tree is that it can also ingest small, random writes 1-2 orders of magnitude faster than B-trees and other standard on-disk data structures.
The goal of BetrFS is to realize performance that strictly dominates the performance of current, general-purpose file systems. 2A00:102A:401E:90F9:C0FB:7A94:3A66:637 (talk) 08:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
