[PLUG] [plug-announce] Monday, June 16, 2014: PLUG West - "The btrfs Filesystem" by Rich Freeman (7pm at FIS in Malvern)

["Paul L. Snyder" <plsnyder@drexel.edu>]

The Philadelphia Area Linux Users Group (PLUG) cordially invites you to
a PLUG West meeting on Monday, June 16 at FIS in Malvern, PA from 7-9 pm.

This month, PLUG West will feature a talk by long-time PLUGger and
Gentoo Council member Rich Freeman, who will be presenting a talk on
btrfs, a next-generation filesystem for Linux.

>From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs

  Btrfs is a GPL-licensed experimental copy-on-write file system for
  Linux.  Development began at Oracle Corporation in 2007. It is still
  in heavy development and marked as unstable, especially since when the
  filesystem becomes full, no-space conditions arise which might make it
  challenging to delete files.

  Btrfs is intended to address the lack of pooling, snapshots, checksums,
  and integral multi-device spanning in Linux file systems, these features
  being crucial as Linux use scales upward into the larger storage
  configurations common in enterprise.
