I’ve been on a filesystem kick, and it’s interesting to see the DNA of older ideas pop up in modern designs.
BeFS was crazy in the 90s; the whole architecture was basically a searchable database.
Skimming through their book…it sounds a lot like current Apple FS design.

If you, a business, are reliant on an open source project to function it is YOUR responsibility to assess and ensure the health of that project by either contributing to it yourself or by using an alternative if project health cannot be guaranteed.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org
