| Jan 10, 2023 at 14:46 | comment | added | James_pic | I couldn't find anything more recent - hence my relatively non-commital answer. My guess would be Ts'o still sees ext4 as "1970s technology", and even if he doesn't endorse btrfs any more, he'd still endorse something that moves away from designs with ext4's heritage - which probably wouldn't be called ext5. | |
