It could use one of those to ensure consistency.<br/><br/>But zooming out a bit: If Btrfs isn’t flushing all of its state on fsync, why should it be trusted to do anything else in the kernel filesystem contract?<br/><br/>I’m sure I’m missing something, though.

The filesystem driver should be completely in charge of making sure its on-disk state is consistent across power events without special userland knowledge.<br/><br/>If it can’t do that, it isn’t taking advantage of the fact that it’s in the kernel!<br/><br/>cont 2025-07-08T13:57:57Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsx09epw9rgg2hnr7yu6f3ktj4xe356yh4u2q2dh7m3me5fcts7lnqzyqn2dycdxczeuqd3da4ppmjw8z4hp450rpu2kja6ypd8nwsdsqkmgh7pur6 “What are we actually saying here — that even Microsoft has to evaluate usage of “AI” directly, because it doesn’t affect performance enough to have an obvious impact otherwise? That the technology is so limp that even its biggest investor has to strong-arm its own employees into using it? That their own employees don’t want to use it?”<br/><br/>Among other excellent quotes, this one stuck out to me from eevee’s article about… well, Whatever.<br/><br/><a href="https://eev.ee/blog/2025/07/03/the-rise-of-whatever/">https://eev.ee/blog/2025/07/03/the-rise-of-whatever/</a> 2025-07-04T17:05:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszma9dvlgqfkxnsshg4gak50w67q4kvtw9cw2wtjx47658alncyngzyqn2dycdxczeuqd3da4ppmjw8z4hp450rpu2kja6ypd8nwsdsqkmgcdjfsr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq20c7yhpvtgyarzzwdngpfea2d0gh6yn0c7ke3jpgl4vc8l7kegs2aw5jn'>nevent1q…w5jn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>for now, the first ): 2025-06-22T05:03:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdzlh7a6d8z4mmsrqwkgns0d75lvg573xc0e6vhc2wupfxsal99ggzyqn2dycdxczeuqd3da4ppmjw8z4hp450rpu2kja6ypd8nwsdsqkmgldyjlg Oh, oh no 2025-06-22T01:34:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfn4pl4vrs8sv6wpe4ytsd99zawguws6vmtqqcvnnyhtl6dl320sczyqn2dycdxczeuqd3da4ppmjw8z4hp450rpu2kja6ypd8nwsdsqkmglv9qyc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsql4e5v7suutp6p2ysnzu5f7gz3hlnj70pe8z4adlj5pwg4kdeh4qkd3qpf'>nevent1q…3qpf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>FYI, this looks to be a lie invented by a couple tech journalists.<br/><br/><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@kirb/113639395877960849">https://hachyderm.io/@kirb/113639395877960849</a> 2024-12-14T01:21:19Z
