A comment on Faster Filesystem Access with Directfs. Parent comment

directfs has nothing to do with DirectX.

I find it deeply ironic this needs to be said here.

DirectStorage does, thought.

Ah... Okay, I think I see how the comment should have been read now...?

I will blame whoever named directfs for using a confounding name one way or the other. :V

I think the comment which was in response to mine is pretty ambiguous, it isn’t obvious to me what they mean by “here” (in the article, in the comment I responded to, or in my comment?).

Author of the blog here.

Point taken. In retrospect, directfs is not a good name as it gives the impression of a new filesystem implemention. I should have named this more along the lines of "direct access mode" as some of you have pointed out.

Thanks for the feedback.

As the other commenter wrote, I was replying directly to the parent and was referring to DirectStorage. I use DirectX apis daily haha
