  • 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.

I'd better read something on the inode uniqueness problem than this. I've already got in trouble with GNU tar because of duplicated file identifiers in overlayed FS.
