EROFS - "Extendable" or "Enhanced"
editI just added a link from this article to the EROFS article. But I noticed that whereas, here, we define the acronym as, "Extendable Read-Only File System", the EROFS article calls it "Enhanced Read-Only File System".
It is true that the cited article (ref 17, "EMUI 9.1 Official Now: What’s New, Supported Huawei devices list, and Download") does define the acronym as "Enhanced Read-Only File System" and that the two different 'decodes' for it are about as easily found as each other on the web - of the first four links found by a Bing search on "EROFS" which give an expansion, two define it as "Enhanced ...",
- "Enhanced Read-Only File System - EROFS" at infradead.org/, and
- "EROFS: A Compression-friendly Readonly File System for Resource-scarce Devices" at usenix.org
and two as "Extendable ..."
- "EROFS Vs Squashfs – Whats The Difference? File Systems Comparison" at gigxp.com/, and
- "Huawei brings its EROFS file system, GPU Turbo 3.0 to more phones" at gsmarena.com
However, since the second reference, above, is the paper describing the interface by its designers, I would say that they probably should have the final say about the name of their own work. In addition, the Linux code in Git hub which implements EROFS refers to it by the same name as it's inventors' paper.
I shall therefore change the name in this article to comply and add their paper as a reference. Hedles (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:25, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
