      I was just about to suggest a tag “filesystems”, after wondering how to file darwfs.

      Here’s a selection of articles that this might apply to (from lobste.rs search for “filesystem”; that’s likely to miss a few relevant stories):

      • https://lobste.rs/s/lvytrx/understanding_linux_filesystems_ext4
      • https://lobste.rs/s/nhjlue/writing_linux_file_system_for_fun
      • https://lobste.rs/s/xcrtuo/write_filesystem_with_fuse
      • https://lobste.rs/s/nuhnsb/new_tricks_for_xfs
      • https://lobste.rs/s/s9pkoa/littlefs_little_fail_safe_filesystem

      “storage” also sounds fine, with maybe a bit wider scope. Or just “files”?

      Some related submissions, not about concrete filesystems, could be interesting to decide where those would fit:

      • https://lobste.rs/s/7vebdc/filesystem_database_are_not_cutting
      • https://lobste.rs/s/luehpr/fixing_unix_linux_posix_filenames
      • https://lobste.rs/s/o8w7nu/files_are_fraught_with_peril
      • https://lobste.rs/s/ddmofs/c_17_details_filesystem

      The zfs entry is heavily flagged as spam (by me, among others).

      Are there other recent entries that would benefit from a new tag?

         Looks like there’s a minority.
         ZFS like cross platform, apart from the platform specific articles such as how to install on to such a filesystem, the info is applicable across the board.

            It could be. The link was blocked by my corporate firewall, and when I visited it in w3m all I could see was a sales pitch.

            Even if it is legit, I’d like more than one submission before voting for a new tag…

               Search for ZFS here, I’ve run into the issue of what to tag an article previously when submitting file system related articles
