I'd recommend you go through the ext4/btrfs/xfs mailing lists searching for "Vijay Chidambaram", Jayashree Mohan", or "Ashlie Martinez" to find prior discussions and other potential dead-ends. The previous discussions also document the guarantees provided by the widely-used Linux file systems, so that you know what is a bug and what is not. For example, a symlink also does not have crash-consistency guarantees: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg76816.html Our OSDI paper has more details: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~vijay/papers/osdi18-crashmonkey.pdf Thanks, Vijay Chidambaram, UT Austin -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
