Awesome articles on filesystem stuff

I was doing some research on a project I'm working on, and came across some excellent IBM articles on almost all things filesystem:

  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 1
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 2
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 3
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 4
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 5
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 6
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 7
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 8
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 9
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 10
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 11
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 12
  o  Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 13

I haven't had a chance to sift through them all yet, but these certainly seem to contain a wealth of information.

Re: Awesome articles on filesystem stuff

Well, I've finished reading through all of them and have found the articles to be quite interesting.  In a short, personal review of the articles: I learned more about tmpfs, learned what exactly devfs was, already knew about reiserfs, learned about the different journaling options with ext3, didn't learn anything new about xfs, and didn't read about evms as I don't deal with the issues it solves.  All-in-all, if you would like to become more familiar with Linux's current filesystems, these articles are definitely one place you may want to check as they're chock-full of goodies.

Oh, one more thing,
AWESOME OPOSSUMS!!!

Those are indeed very good! However, I wouldn't expect the opposite when looking at the authors name .
