Kernel 6.8-rc2 debuts after very robust discussion about 'inodes'
  • Linus Torvalds criticized a Google contributor on the Linux kernel mailing list for his suggestions about filesystems.
  • The debate centered around the use of inodes as unique identifiers for metadata on a filesystem.
  • Torvalds’s strong language and tone in his response to the contributor were reminiscent of his past flippant attacks, for which he previously apologized.

    Torvalds worked on his behaviour and he’s much better now than he used to be. I suppose he still has to work on it but it’s a clear improvement. Also he knows what he is talking about and he’s not a Nazi.
