btrfs is fine as long as you keep away from raid56

i really hope they fix that sometime, i actually got a system with btrfs raid6 running.. it works, but i guess that's only because the disks haven't gone bad yet :ohdear:

it's quicker to reinstall and restore from backup than to rebuild any decently sized array

I can 100% believe this because microsoft wants for filesystems to be hard to write. windows has no equivalent of vnode and all windows filesystem drivers are half boilerplate
SEH for flow control I find it a little hard to believe unless he means __leave

yes, every single filesystem reimplementing a vcb, fcb, ccb, cache manager boilerplate and all related and easily mistaken error handling and argument validation is preferable to a common implementation, said a goddamn loving pissbaby retard

the documentation consisting of the poorly commented code of fastfat.sys, cdfs.sys and mrxsmb.sys, that double as boilerplate that you are expected to fork and customize, is almost as good as this box of turds I can't stop stuffing my face with

I agree, no benefit whatsoever can be derived from a driver framework *wdf puts out a cigarette in my eye*
