| summary | The text discusses the evolution of Unix filesystems and their similarity in concept, despite differing ideas initially. It explains the traditional Unix filesystem structure using disk data structures: inodes (simple, fixed-size metadata in specific locations), files stored as blocks in extents indexed by radix trees off the inode, and simple bitmaps for free space allocation.
To fully realize the filesystem's potential as a database approach, the text proposes a significant shift: replace numerous B-trees with large ones, allowing the filesystem to function like a normal database. This would enable a more relational database structure, with tables representing data types and a unified transactional interface for better organization and management of files. |
