Christoph Hellwig - LST e.V.

Supersweet 15 - tales of a filesystems in puberty

This talk tells the story of a filesystem with a hard childhood growing leaner and better over the years.

Born in 1993 XFS first had a protected childhood in the arms of a proprietary Unix environment, but got re-parented into the crazy creative chaos of the Linux community around 2000. It became a productive member of the society soon after.

After 15 years it's now time to heal the wounds the sudden change of environment caused, and time for some massive muscle buildup to keep the news kids of it's patch in high-end file serving and HPC. It's also slowly growing self-healing capabilities to withstand the toxic environment of modern storage subsystems.
