There are many interesting things about filesystems these days. It used to be that a System Administrator could learn RAID, or maybe the difference between big endian and little endian

There are a lot more things filesystem related in the Linux world. Among them:

• FUSE the File System in User Space is a Linux kernel module and
  • the many filesystems that use FUSE.
  • The KIO system for example.
  • Or SSHFS that you can use to mount remote filesystems through SSH
• MooseFS is a fault tolerant, network distributed file system (capable of petabyte storage).
• Btrfs is a copy on write (CoW) filesystem

Notes[edit | edit source]

-Jacques or J. J. Grandville, was a French caricaturist in the early 19th century. His illustration of broken eggs was reproduced from a Polish translation of "Gulliver's Travels".

-boiled egg at the small end, inhabitants of the rival kingdom of Blefuscu crack theirs at the big end, giving them the moniker Big-endians.

Although this is not the meaning of endianness in this context, it is the (etymology) origin of the word.
