Linus on Linux: The Linus Torvalds Interview Part 2

| Yes, I commit most every day, but my commit statistics are very skewed: 95+% 
| of what I do is merges, and just a couple of percent is actual “code” 
| commits, and quite frankly, even those pitiful few ones tend to be about 
| pretty trivial stuff like reverting somebody elses code that caused problems.

File Systems, Disk Defragmentation and more.

| Let us say that very soon, people are going to start trusting Btrfs. We know 
| that Btrfs’ primary focus is server side hosting. It comes equipped with its 
| own defragmentation tools that run both online and offline. So why would I 
| need support for anything else? XFS has been out for many years and has 
| gained the trust of storage administrators worldwide as a stable, excellent 
| performing and extremely scalable file system solution. XFS offers both 
| online and offline defragmentation. AdvFS supports online defragmentation and 
| recently I have even heard proposals for an Ext4-fs online defragmentation 
| implementation.

| A powerful new filesystem for Linux already supports fast snapshots,
| checksums for all data, and online resizing--and plans to add ZFS-style
| built-in striping and mirroring.
