OpenTech<p>Linux Moves to Remove System V File System</p><p>Linux developers are planning to remove the aging System V (SysV) file system from the kernel. SysV, once widely used in early Unix systems, is now largely obsolete, with modern alternatives like ext4 and XFS dominating. The removal aims to streamline the kernel and reduce maintenance burden. While some legacy systems may still rely on SysV, its relevance in modern Linux is minimal.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SysV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysV</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kernel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kernel</span></a></p>
