Zayd Depaor Excuse me, Sir, but I believe he said in the beginning that this was a lecture where he presumed that those were in place,- and that he was addressing a little more advanced public. :) In my opinion youtube is flooded with basic lectures and I really miss more advanced. :)
interesting I never knew the ext4 file system was on ongoing development work with added features over many years...I thought they were more or less developed pre-release and then left alone except for apparent bugs that arise later. Whenever a new filesystem comes out I don't like to adopt it unless it has been around 2 or 3 years in mainstream usage.... I would rather stick with what is functional and less featured than the feature rich ones, as I fear bugs/instability destroying my data etc. Have been using ext3 for 5yrs and only recently adopted ext4 with my latest installs of Linux distros...but then again, I stuck with the same two distros and same versions for about 5 years :)
RonJohn63 No I meant that I thought that the file systems were hardly developed at all after initial release. Didn't know they kept on developing with lots of alterations.
Zayd Depaor OK. In light of your comment about only recently adopting ext4, your quote "developed pre-release and then left alone" seems to imply otherwise, but your second comment clarified. Note that ext4 was declared stable *6* *years* *ago*. /same versions for about 5 years/ That's just an invitation to security breaches.
Yeah - it's in the video. A lot of people probably can't hear it though. The older you get the harder it gets. I be it's probably at the edge of what I can hear.

Don't skip over the definitions and explanations of terms.....consider the much wider youtube audience!

For a filesystem nerd like myself this is a fantastic talk!
Pro tip: Don't point the speakers that output your microphone input at said microphone.
How did nobody think of that, especially at around 43:00?
On our PDP-11 at college, we had 6 (not even 8) letter file names
I would like to see these graphs renormalized to the total number of lines of code when each ext file system was initially released

I'm flabbergasted you would think that a large section of the internet and much important s/w managing corporations runs on pre-release software.

Yes well I do use ext4 but wont start using btrfs for a long time
Zayd Depaor /wont start using btrfs for a long time/
:)
Neither will I... xfs, ext4 & lvm are just *stable*, even when adding new features.
Informative,
Thank you

A very enthusiastic speech btw.

in the near future ,, linux will b legend,,
Because it will be only alive in weird stories of old people.
But sure 2017 will be the year where Linux boosts. ROTFLMAO.
