- Great to see you are still actively working on the efs Remy! I
- converted over to the efs a about a month ago and haven't hit a
- glitch since. I am very impressed I have a couple of questions:
-
- Is the efs ready to be called the "linux" file system? I mean, used
- as the default on linux? (it has seemed pretty stable for some time
- now).
-
- There was talk a while back about a new incompatible efs that would
- be faster (use bitmaps maybe)? Is this true or just net.folklore?
- Has it already happened and I just blinked at the wrong moment?
- Right now my efs is noticeably slower than my linux root partition.
-
- Thanks and keep up the good work!
