Today, Btrfs is thought to pair very well with GlusterFS (a form of networked redundant storage) for data center use, and still an amazing solution for many other applications. Yet, […]
Short Bytes: In a slight intermission in the Btrfs series, we’re looking at WinBtrfs, a “from-scratch” implementation of the Linux brainchild filesystem, Btrfs. Windows has a notorious lack of support for filesystems, and a shaky reputation with its RAID software, meaning WinBtrfs could be a saving grace for filesystems on Windows.
