Well-known Linux kernel developer Ted Ts'o announced this week that he has joined Google, leaving behind his previous role as CTO of the Linux Foundation. Ts'o, an expert on filesystem development, played a central role in creating Ext4, the latest generation of the dominant Linux filesystem.

In a statement on his blog, Ts'o expressed enthusiasm for his new job and pointed to a recent mailing list post by a Google engineer which reveals that the search giant is in the process of upgrading its storage infrastructure from Ext2 to Ext4. Ts'o says that he will continue working on Ext4 and other parts of the Linux kernel while he is at Google.
