Matthew Ahrens (Matthew Ahrens<\/a><\/noindex>), one of the two original authors of the ZFS file system, conducted<\/a><\/noindex> cleaning<\/a><\/noindex> The source texts of OpenZFS (ZFS on Linux) have removed the term \u2018slave\u2019, which is now perceived as politically incorrect. According to Matthew, the consequences of human slavery continue to affect society, and in modern realities, the term \u2018slave\u2019 in computer programs is an additional reminder of unpleasant human experiences.<\/p>\n

Instead of the term \u2018slave\u2019, ZFS now uses the word \u2018dependent\u2019. Among the visible changes is the renaming of the script zpool.d\/slaves, which is now called \u2018dm-deps\u2019, similar to \u2018dmsetup deps\u2019. Instead of the phrase \u2018slave devices\u2019, documentation and informational messages now use the phrase \u2018dependent (underlying) devices\u2019. In the header file \u2018freebsd\/spl\/sys\/dkio.h\u2019, the parameter dki_slave has simply been removed from the structure dk_cinfo without replacement. Instead of the command \u2018zpool iostat -vc slaves\u2019, it is suggested to use \u2018zpool iostat -vc size\u2019.<\/p>\n

Links to the directory \u2018\/sys\/class\/block\/$dev\/slaves\u2019 are retained, as the name of this directory in the sysfs hierarchy is determined by the Linux kernel and is out of the control of OpenZFS developers. The use of this directory is not mandatory, as the same information can be obtained with the command \u2018dmsetup deps\u2019, but executing dmsetup requires elevated privileges, while the directory in \/sys\/ is readable by any user.<\/p>\n

Let us recall that a week ago, the terms whitelist\/blacklist and master\/slave were eliminated<\/a><\/noindex> by the developers of the Go language, and prior to that, the use of master\/slave in the code was rejected by projects Python<\/a><\/noindex>, Drupal<\/a><\/noindex>, Django<\/a><\/noindex>, Salt<\/a><\/noindex>, . In the BIND DNS server, the option to use settings with the names 'master\/slave' remains, but alternatives with 'primary\/secondary' were added and deemed more preferable. Linux kernel developers once called attempts to rename 'blacklist\/whitelist' nonsense and foolishness instigated by politicians and populists, and<\/a><\/noindex>, MediaWiki<\/a><\/noindex> and Redis<\/a><\/noindex>. In the DNS server BIND, instead of \u2018master\/slave\u2019, the terms \u2018primary\/secondary\u2019 are now more preferred. include<\/a><\/noindex> The terms \u2018primary\/secondary\u2019 are now recommended.
\nThe IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), which is responsible for developing internet protocols and architecture, proposed<\/a><\/noindex> Alternatives to the terms \u2018whitelist\/blacklist\u2019 and \u2018master\/slave\u2019, preferred for use in specifications \u2014 instead of \u2018master\/slave\u2019, it is recommended to use \u2018primary\/secondary\u2019, \u2018leader\/follower\u2019,
\n \u2018active\/standby\u2019,
\n \u2018primary\/replica\u2019,
\n \u2018writer\/reader\u2019,
\n \u2018coordinator\/worker\u2019 or
\n \u2018parent\/helper\u2019, and instead of \u2018blacklist\/whitelist\u2019 \u2014 \u2018blocklist\/allowlist\u2019 or \u2018block\/permit\u2019.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, on GitHub, the number of opponents slightly outweighs the supporters of the renaming: 42 developers approved the change, while 48 opposed it. Supporters of removing the word \u2018slave\u2019 believe that using this term is unacceptable, as it makes some people feel marginalized and evokes memories of past discrimination. In society, the word has begun to be considered offensive and is met with condemnation.<\/p>\n

Opponents of the renaming argue that politics and programming should not be mixed; these are merely terms that have established meanings in computer technology. The negative connotation is imposed by artificial notions of political correctness that hinder the use of plain English. The word 'slave' is multifaceted and carries several meanings that depend on the context. Without content, words have no meaning, and a word is offensive only if the context is offensive. The term 'slave' has been used in computer systems for about 50 years and in the IT context is perceived as 'the follower' rather than 'the enslaved.' If the distortion of context is allowed, it can lead to the conclusion that any word can be taken out of context, presented in a twisted sense, and portrayed as offensive.<\/p>\n
