Oh! gosh, never saw that amount of crap in a newsforge article.
About modules in Linux:
"user modules" for the kernel? Wrong, modules in the kernel are kernel modules.
"Code in the kernel executes significantly faster than modules"? Wrong, wrong, wrong! Modules in linux are executed also in kernel mode and reside in kernel space. They do execute at exactly the same "speed". Perhaps you loose a little in initialisation, but that's all.
About file systems: JFS a work in progress? It's as stable as ext3 or XFS.
User interface: What is the relationship between "user interface" and the way filesystems store and manage directories? That's is another problem, not "user interface". BTW, chech some facts with ReiserFS4
File storage sorting: Wrong again, filesystems don't do/impose files's sorting (but ReiserFS). That's a problem of the user interface, not the underlying filesystem. BTW, chech some facts with ReiserFS too.
Compression/uncompression: there exists also. What's the big deal here?
etc. etc...
Just a question. Do you check or ask about what you write? Two options, a) you have no idea about operating systems, or b) the article needs to be rewritten/reworded.
