Reiserfs4 & cleaner process

Reiserfs4 & cleaner process

[Cyrille Chepelov]

Hi all,

I've seen several statements recently to the effect that Reiserfs4 is going
to start beta time in July (I wish there were patches available now 
against current 2.5 kernel rather than BK, but I guess that considering that
I'm unable to bri^Wfund such a "project" and I'd rather have beta patches 
earlier than having snapshot patches right now, all's fine).

However, one point is unclear to me at this point: there are numerous
mentions of a "cleaner" process (whatever the terminology) in the published 
reiser4 design documents. Does the July timeframe apply to this component
too, or is it for later?

Thanks in advance,

4.1 will have the cleaner, and we will write it after we finish the 
semantic enhancements still remaining to be done in our DARPA contract.  
It is however the highest priority for the post-DARPA contract work.  I 
hope that the cleaner will ship in October.
