OpenTechLinux Moves to Remove System V File SystemLinux 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.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SysV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SysV</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kernel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kernel</a>

AptiviSysV filesystem is being removed from Linux 6.15In the old Unix days, there was a filesystem that implemented the Xenix FS, Coherent Unix FS, and SystemV/386 FS. It allowed file organization and access that provided the data storage service that allowed applications to access mass storage and its contents, including files and folders.The ex-maintainer of this filesystem support for Linux systems had orphaned the filesystem maintenance back <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230216062922.2151960-1-hch@lst.de/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">in 2023</a>, when the maintainer said that there was no way to test it, with the possible removal slated in the future.The future has come, and <a href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs.git/commit/?h=vfs-6.15.sysv&id=448fa70158f9b348e71869cfe4a31988e07b20b2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Jan Kara from the SUSE team</a> has pushed a commit to the VFS git that removed all code for the SysV support for Linux, which confirms that, starting from Linux 6.15, you won’t be able to access these legacy filesystems. This is because, back in 2023, Google’s Linux kernel fuzzer, <a href="https://github.com/google/syzkaller" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">syzkaller</a>, has automatically reported <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/all/0000000000000ccf9a05ee84f5b0@google.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a bug</a> in SysV where the sleep function was called from an invalid context.As nobody is using this filesystem in their Linux installation, it’s safe to remove this filesystem support from the kernel. This only affects computers that have both Linux and a legacy Unix system that uses this antique filesystem installed, but the amount of such computers is very small.Once Linux 6.15 gets released, you won’t be able to use any partitions that use this filesystem.<a href="https://audiomack.com/aptivi/song/sysv-filesystem-is-being-removed-from-linux-615" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://audiomack.com/aptivi/song/sysv-filesystem-is-being-removed-from-linux-615</a><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/filesystem/" target="_blank">#Filesystem</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/fs/" target="_blank">#FS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/kernel/" target="_blank">#Kernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux/" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux-kernel/" target="_blank">#LinuxKernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/sysv/" target="_blank">#SysV</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/sysv-filesystem/" target="_blank">#SysVFilesystem</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/unix/" target="_blank">#Unix</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a>
