Dominic Giampaolo worked on Spotlight at Apple, and was the BFS guy at Be...

Pavel helped in convincing Dominic Giampaolo [6] to come to Apple.

Dominic Giampaolo was long gone by then, of course.

Dominic Giampaolo developed that, so I assume that's what's being referred to.

> notably Dominic Giampaolo His book on file system design is still a must-read, imo.

Dominic Giampaolo asked at at Be Developer's Conference, for a show of hands as to whether we would prefer a case-sensitive, or a case-preserving but -insensitive filesystem.

Practical File System Design by Dominic Giampaolo File Systems: Structures and Algorithms by Harbor There is probably a relevant chapter on the The Linux Programming Interface on file systems as well.

Indeed, the creator of BeOS's file system, Dominic Giampaolo (who wrote a well-written, accessible introductory textbook on file system design), moved to Apple after Be's demise and worked on Spotlight, which is macOS's search tool.

Dominic Giampaolo, one of the authors of BeFS, is now working on Apple's Spotlight file search engine.

Not entirely related, but recently I began re-reading Practical File System Design with the Be File System by Dominic Giampaolo.

Apple's been doing a credible job of duplicating the features of BeOS in MacOS X, with the help of some key BeOS refugees (notably Dominic Giampaolo).
