| With Linux 2.6.27 still not released but only making slow progress from
| | #REDIRECT [[XFS_Status_Updates#XFS_status_update_for_September_2008]] |
| 2.6.27-rc5 to 2.6.27-rc8 XFS changes in mainline have been minimal in
| |
| September with only about half a dozen bug fixes patches.
| |
| | |
| In the meantime the generic btree patch set has been committed to the
| |
| development tree, but not many other updates yet. On the user space side
| |
| xfsprogs 2.10.1 has been released on September 5th with a number of
| |
| important bug fixes. Following the release of xfsprogs 2.10.1 open season
| |
| for development of the user space code has started. The first full update
| |
| of the shared kernel / user space code in libxfs since 2005 has been
| |
| committed. In addition to that the number of headers installed for the
| |
| regular devel package has been reduced to the required minimum and support
| |
| for checking the source code for endianess errors using sparse has been
| |
| added.
| |
| | |
| The patch sets to unify the XFS and Linux inode structures, and rewrite
| |
| various bits of the sync code have seen various iterations on the XFS
| |
| list, but haven't been committed yet. A first set of patches implementing
| |
| CRCs for various metadata structures has been posted to the list.
