I'm sure Chris and I could talk about the design elements in btrfs
that should aid repair if folks are interested in hearing about
them. We'd keep the hand-waving to a minimum :).
And I'm sure I could provide a counterpoint by talking about
the techniques we've used improving XFS repair speed and
scalability without needing to change any on disk formats....
Sounds like that could be an interesting discussion.
Especially when trying to answer questions like:
"At what filesystem size will the mitigating fixes no
longer be enough?"
and
"When will people start using filesystems THAT big?" :)
