Reiser4 the Atomic Filesystem (sloganeering)

Reiser4 the Atomic Filesystem (sloganeering)

[Hans Reiser]

what do you guys think of that as a title for a description of reiser4 
on our website.  The idea being that every operation is performed as an 
atomic operation, thus it is an atomic filesystem.  Atomic tends to have 
connotations of being powerful as well....

reiserfs4 - ACID for your files!

Whilst perhaps the boundary-eroding experience of reading the Reiser4 white
paper may seem as enlightening and perspective shaping as true
understanding of the Atomic/Consistent/Isolated/Durable mantra for
Databases... I think there may be some interesting connotations to that
particular slogan.  Like, for instance, as if somehow the filesystem code
yielded available hydrogen atoms in an aqueous solution, thereby causing
oxygenation of your files.  Wouldn't want to have such a corrosive slogan.

Now, I'm sure that Hans and his team will have a very thorough filesystem
test suite that will have identified so many bugs that most users wouldn't
consider their data eroded when they place it on a Reiser4 filesystem, but
first impressions are important.

Windows 2003 (or maybe the version after 2003) is apparently using a SQL
database for its filesystem.  Perhaps this feature has a slogan, buzzword
or catchphrase.  Find out and parody it.  Because you are recognising the
same oneness of data structure that they are, but I think in an ultimately
less arse about face manner.

Why not add some "secure filesystem transactions" in there too? :)

Atomic sounds chic-retro, too!  Bev should re-do the
site's 3-d illustrations giving h/her a retro-50s
appearance ala "The Jetsons"...if you use "atomic"
then consider other descriptives of a similar vein,
e.g. spiffy, technicolor with surround sound, square,
daddio, keen, flop a hop, nowheresville, etc.

atomfs is cute name for a file system too.

I wish I understand a single word here. :)

That would be a good slogan, I'm really fed up with those "next generation"
or "21st century release" tags on most of the outcomming piece of software.
But this may need a bit more work, I mean "Reiser4 the Atomic Filesystem"
doesn't sound good enough to me. I'll think about this and let you know if I
can find some improvements in this doc header ;)

... and what about the graphical side : do you plan do reskin the Reiser
website before Reiser4 is released ? Maybe extend it, or add some kind of
new features to make it more friendly ?
