Interview: Chris Mason about Btrfs
When Btrfs was officially announced I was very interested in the development because it was supposed to address several issues of today’s file systems. After a couple of early development releases I asked Chris if he would be willing to ask me some questions about Btrfs. He agreed but asked me to wait after the podcast of Oracle’s TechCast crew. This gave me the chance to only address topics not covered in the podcast and some days later I got the answers from Chris:
Q: Please introduce yourself to the readers.
I got started in the Linux kernel by adding journaling to ReiserFS v3, and I’ve been doing FS and kernel development since then. Today, work in Oracle’s Linux Kernel Engineering group, where we focus on mainline kernel development.
Q: Describe Btrf with your own words.
