I've been looking at the new "btrfs" file system and it looks promising.
Some of its design goals are:
-- Online defrag
-- Online resizing
-- Snapshots
... and much more. Wiki is at
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
It looks like, ultimately, btrfs is the file system that we'll all be using.
So ... I'm wondering if anyone else out there is trying it out. In
10.04, you can download btrfs-tools and create btrfs file systems.
I still haven't figured out how to resize a subvolume and some of the
other stuff.
Keep in mind that it's still labeled as "experimental", so don't trust
your important data with it just yet. I have my btrfs file system
created on a 32G thumbdrive.
