I’ve said this previously, and I’ll say it again: we’re severely under-resourced. Not just XFS, the whole fsdevel community. As a developer and later a maintainer, I’ve learnt the hard way that there is a very large amount of non-coding work is necessary to build a good filesystem. There’s enough not-really-coding work for several people. Instead, we lean hard on maintainers to do all that work. That might’ve worked acceptably for the first 20 years, but it doesn’t now.

Dave and I are both burned out. I’m not sure Dave ever got past the 2017 burnout that lead to his resignation. Remarkably, he’s still around. Is this (extended burnout) where I want to be in 2024? 2030? Hell no.

Step 1: Don’t murder your wife
Oof. The filesystem was great though.
I think I’m missing something?
Hans Reiser developed ReiserFS, which was a good fs for it’s time, and was then convicted of murdering his wife.
Oh 😲
Username checks out.
The guy is definitely a genius.
On the bright side, he should have all the time in the world to code, after going to prison.
This must be a reference to someone, right? Casual femicide sounds a bit off.

Awful and horrifying.
I think a lot of people don’t know that about ReiserFS. ‘Geek defense’, wtf.
I’m old. I was around for it. It was a shock to the Linux community.
