Was there meant to be a linky?
linked added to the OP....odd, I posted it as a link, but added an image which seems to be the only visible content.
Sorry, new here & confused by stuff.
No worries, I'm new here myself :)
OP's argument is mostly this
IBM hosted that meeting, but ultimately, never did contribute any developers to the btrfs effort. That's because IBM had a fairly cold, hard examination of what their enterprise customers really wanted, and would be willing to pay $$$, and the decision was made at a corporate level (higher up than the Linux Technology Center, although I participated in the company-wide investigation) that none of OS's that IBM supported (AIX, zOS, Linux, etc.) needed ZFS-like features,because IBM's customers didn't need them.
So it's about money and they don't care about innovation or anything like it. Just like Microsoft.
It's such a shame that Red Hat was sold to these guys, Red Hat did so much good for the linux community.
But this is all in the past now, we won't see any improvements coming from them that don't directly relate to company profits.
I met the guy who made bcachefs in Philadelphia and watched a play with him. we then walked through the city at night for 3 hours.
Better him than the ReiserFS guy
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
