Wanted: File System discussion forum

[sofasurfer]

The file system is the backbone of everything we do. And theres a million questions about it...

Whats in /this file?
What file has this or that?
How to copy, move, open, list files?
How to backup and restore?
What is a file, a file system, a directory?
What are differant file system types?
What is one file browser better or worse than another?
How to mount?
What are permissions and how the heck do you work with them?
And on and on.

I would like to see a File System forum devoted to questions and answers about file systems, directories, files and related commands, functions, tricks and tips.

Any in agreement?

Not at all.. all these questions are already covered in the forums and the standard documentation.

True this is covered elsewhere in the forum.

A filesystem forum would be a big "recurring discussion" in the end, I think anyway

[sofasurfer]

I stand corrected.

You will probably find this useful, though. :)

Time for a ext3 vs xfs vs reiser vs zfs flamewar :)

Just kidding. I cant see this warranting a forum of it's own.

Sorry we won't be making a forum for this. It better fits in general discussion.

That doesn't have anything to do with filesystems by the way.
