<gnucode>It sounds like Kent oversteet based bcachefs on a database...I would if we could use postgresql to make a filesystem...? It's possible that's a really bad idea. <nikolar>Actually that's what I wanted to try :) <gnucode>nikolar: really? My understanding of sqlite...it that is slower. <nikolar>well you can't exactly turn postgress from a server oriented, bagillion file using, database into an fs <nikolar>so there's a massive difference alread <gnucode>"sqlite is a single file" --> what does that mean? <nikolar>it means that it stores all of it's data within a single file? <nikolar>and there's an extension mechanism to add support for VFSs which you should be able to abuse to get it to store data onto a raw disk <nikolar>and we're talking about using databases as filesystem, they ain't going to be fast <gnucode>oh really? a filesystem baked by a database will have the tradeoff of being slow? I didn't actually know that... <nikolar>well you don't control most of the stack <nikolar>if i ever write a fuse driver for this, i'll let you know (unless i forget lol) <gnucode>It seems like maybe a bad idea to store all date in one file? <nikolar>and sqlite is perfectly capable of working with terrabytes of data without issues <gnucode>hmmm. I had always thought that if you want to build a "large scale" web application (TB of data, thousands of connections)...then use postgresql <gnucode>I'm an enthusiast as well. Not an expert. :) <nikolar>sqlite capable and robust until you get to the level of like google or something <nikolar>where the maximum databases size becomes a limit <gnucode>also Samuel merged Sergey's "serverboot v2" RFC into the wiki
