New File System needed

One of the first thing I wanted to do with this blog was write an article on the need for a new File System for computers. This article goes in the same direction, even though it's a bit modest compared to what I have in mind.

Here are some of the requirements I have in mind :

• native 64 bits support (for almost unlimited file sizes unlike FAT32)
• portable to be used on either Windows, Linux and OSX
• open source and patent free (to be usable for free on any device)
• support symbolic link (not well supported on Windows and OS X)
• support insertion and deletion of parts without needing to rewrite to a new file (not found anywhere I know yet), a cleanup of the FS could be done during idle time to commit these changes irremediable
• support attributes/meta-data better than on OS X (UNIX commands lose such attributes)
