    [$] XFS: There and back ... and there again?
    In a thought-provoking—and characteristically amusing—talk at the Vault conference,
    Dave Chinner looked at the history
    of XFS, its current status, and where the filesystem may be heading.
    In keeping with the title of the talk (shared by this article), he sees
    parallels in what drove the original development of XFS and what will be
    driving
    new filesystems.
    Chinner's vision of the future for today's filesystems, and not just
    of XFS, may be a bit surprising or controversial—possibly both.
