So I've been reading it for years as BCA-Chefs, instead of B-Cache-FS. I don't know how to feel about this.

For me, btrfs will always be "butter FS", not "better fs" (but wikipedia says that's valid).

Anyhow, always interesting to compare how people spell these abbreviations/acronyms in their head. I have some specifically German ones - www because it's much shorter to think than "doubleUdoubleUdoubleU", and most of the hierarchy of directories.

For some unknown reason i kept saying f-shtab instead of f-s-tab.

I always think f-stab

f-shtab

edit: wait, you mean in german spelling? As in Stab? That's even funnier.
