"Yes, I'm from the dark side... I also had cookies but they're gone very fast..." :D

"This is what Linux really needed: a new implementation of raid..."

It's one of the best presentations on that topic.

Oracle passed the torch of OpenOffice org to the Apache Foundation. Avi is an Oracle Australia employee from way before the Sun acquisition, my guess is that he used MS Office all his career like the rest of his peers. Unlike Sun employees who moved to StarOffice/OpenOffice a decade ago as part of Sun´s commitment to OO.o

Looks like the XFS guy obliterated btrfs.

Hehehe, its a presentation by an Oracle guy, but he's using Microsoft PowerPoint rather than Oracle's own in house OpenOffice Impress :P

I'm running btrfs with two hard drives in RAID0 right now. Low mtbf is okay for consumer pcs, as long as you make proper backups.
