2.6.34 is Out; Let Review

,----[ Quote ]
| NILFS2 is a different type of file system
| which is termed a log-structured file system.
| You can read a summary of it here. Rather than
| write to a tree structure such as a b-tree or
| an h-tree, either with or without a journal, a
| log-structured file system writes all data and
| metadata sequentially in a continuous stream
| that is called a log (actually it is a
| circular log). Because of this design it is
| very easy for NILFS2 to create snapshots and
| mount them along side the file system itself.
| But one of the more desirable features of
| NILFS2 is performance.

Linux 2.6.35-rc3

,----[ Quote ]
| So I've been hardnosed now for a week -
| perhaps overly so - and hopefully that means
| that 2.6.35-rc3 will be better than -rc2 was.
| Not only do we have a number of regressions
| handled, we don't have that silly memory
| corruptor that bit so many people with -rc2
| and confused people with its many varied forms
| of bugs it seemed to take, depending on just
| what random memory it happened to corrupt.

Linux 2.6.34

| Nothing very interesting here, which is
| just how I like it. Various random fixes
| all over, nothing really stands out.
| Pretty much all of it is one- or few-
| liners, I think the biggest patch in the
| last week was fixing some semantics for
| the new SR-IOV VF netlink interface. And
| even that wasn't a _big_ patch by any
| means.

| The Linux 2.6.34 kernel is now available,
| delivering new filesystems to the open

| comes as the second major Linux kernel
| development of 2010 and follows the Linux
