Booting MicroVAX 3100/20....stuck at vaxboot
Any file-systems offering this already? BSD ufs' "snapshots" seem to provide this, but they operate on entire file-systems, rather than individual files... The union file system is exactly what you're looking for - see the mount_unionfs(8) man page. Unfortunately the BUGS section is disappointing - and the HISTORY

Or that your file system falters more often than it works? (how many times a day does the extfs get corrupted?) For crying out loud, you even have to recompile the whole It's disappointing. At least with SCO Unix, you only have to relink everything. You know what your problem is? You stare at your os too much!

It is disappointing, although perhaps not surprising, that they are incompletely implemented in Windows. Your information gives me something I can tell my The file format for .LNK files is at: http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=shortcut You could do this using the VFS (virtual file system) layer in Samba 2.2

EMC to IBM SAN LUN replication
The performance is very disappointing - looks like we'll have to switch back to twiggy. :-( This has nothing to do with 'mcrypt' or the changes made in Horde. If using either mbox format of maildir format, past a certain size of mailbox (depending on OS, caching, file system, software, speed of hardware, etc.

Why are MAC better than PCs? (G3 better then PII, its true!)
Per the discussion below, I experimented with BrowseForFolder and the User Accounts Common Dialog on WinXP, both of which are disappointing. short lines max root folder: folder string or system folder code configuration: integer bitwise code 0001 1 only return file system folders (do not return virtual folders)

Poor RAID-5 performance numbers
The new filesystem isn't really new at all. It has 2 things 1) longer filenames. 2) 32 pointers instead of 16 bit. What was missed out and should have been You guys are being kind of hard on the person extending the minix file system format! In fact, longer name lengths and a greater then 64M partition are

IDE vs SCSI - a perspective & benchmarks
The reason is simple: This has nothing to do with the file system, which only stores the name. No matter what the file system, the mangled short file name is for controlling the generated short file name when creating the output file [indirect control is possible, but painful]. I must say it's disappointing.

Defrag won't run
Are you using raw I/O or working with file systems? If file systems, which block size are you using? With current kernels, maximum performance is likely to be achieved using an EXT2 file system with 4KB block size. Raw I/O has relatively poor performance, and has been very bad in some configurations since 2.0.21.

Operating systems
If you posit a shared-storage file system to allow your applications transparent file-level access, then the observations above about applications apply ..... Well I hope I'm not disappointing !

SCSI Sony SDT-5000 still useless
("Internal file system error." Internal to WordPerfect? Internal to the computer? Internal to the user?) I was very disappointed. Why should I have to pay $84 for a call that does not make the undocumented error go away? I asked her how to proceed with making the call free of cost, since I had received no answer.

Newfs brked: Kills make release in strange ways.
So I chose a 6 GB file system, the one with my home directory on it. vxdump to /dev/null used 22 minutes. That's 4 MB/s -- a bit This is really slow. disappointing, but there are a lot of small files, so it's actually 128 files/s. star 1.3 is still running, 24 hours later. Without a command line for star and

DILIP dil...@hotmail.com microsoft public windowsxp general Greg : Just thought I should mention it - I have had a disappointing experience with PerfectDisk 5. I would also suggest running CHKDSK /R on the drive (may require a reboot to perform) in order to rule out any file system inconsistencies.

ccd questions
The installation procedure did NOT give any partitioning options, which was very disappointing. Thanks for any help. The AIX LVM works like that: Volume groups up a new VG that will contain one or more JFS file systems, keep one unused PP (more when mirroring) for the log volume of the Journaling File System.

embedded?
The journaling and indexing file system of BeOS is a typical example. No more "please wait while scandisk...", no more searches on your harddisk that take forever. Unix, especially Solaris is just as disappointing in this respect. I was _shocked_ when I upgraded from SunOS4 to Solaris (apart from the easier

How stable is OS 10.2.1 for you?
GS/OS just coming out, which would have solved the major problem (resource forks).

Partition Magic - File System Conversion
Separate file permissions on user/group/others base. Sane (namely same) behaviour of utilities and system calls when working with text files as compared to binaries. Quite a lot more than DOS and its successors did 6 years into the development. Which is rather disappointing considering that Unix was all around to

To APPLE users
Gcc ocasionally takes it to 1.8 meg but that is the mast I have seen it use. on the amount of memory uses by malloc, otherwise the file system could grind to a halt! Lets give us a 4K block filesystem for ease of programming. Then we expand the memory manager and add one routine. void *get_page(int priority);

Performance is not an issue to much, more a practically thing - so

Archiving/Backup: What To Use?
Except, of course, for such obvious data integrity problems as lack of memory protection and lack of a robust file system.
