BeamFS Becomes New Linux File System Proposal
1 min read
BeamFS launches as a fault-tolerant file-system proposal for Linux today, evolving from the stalled FTRFS project. The system corrects corrupted bytes on a single device using Reed-Solomon parity, with 288 bytes of overhead per 4096-byte block. It targets radiation-prone environments like satellite computers and radiotherapy rooms, aiming to improve acceptance for the upstream Linux kernel after earlier guidance changes.
