I doubt they have the money to do anything about it. Furthermore, I doubt they have a trademark on the name because it costs $10k to get one.

The worst they could do is to blog about it and if they're lucky and get coverage with their article, it could be settled in the court of public opinion.

Trademarks are free, you just start putting ™ after it and using it like a trademark. Registered trademarks ® cost money, but even then it's only a few hundred depending on which filing option you choose. Just the same, the file system guys don't seem to treat it as a trademark, so it's not an issue here.
