  • Linus Torvalds criticized a Google contributor on the Linux kernel mailing list for his suggestions about filesystems.
  • The debate centered around the use of inodes as unique identifiers for metadata on a filesystem.
  • Torvalds's strong language and tone in his response to the contributor were reminiscent of his past flippant attacks, for which he previously apologized.
