[LSF/MM ATTEND] [LSF/MM TOPIC] Request to attend and for topic of "Block & Filesystem interface"

[Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>]

Hi,

I'd like to attend this years LSF/MM and I'd like to propose a reprise 
of the "Block & Filesystem interface" topic that was discussed last 
year. It seemed to generate quite a lot of discussion last time - in 
fact rather more than could easily be squeezed into its timeslot :-) My 
plan for this year would be to do something similar, if it is accepted. 
So just a very few slides summarizing the current situation, whats 
changed since last year, and anything new on the horizon, to help kick 
off the discussion.

I'm also interested in a very wide range of filesytems, storage and mm 
topics, including GFS2, NFS, XFS, ext*, autofs, fedfs, CIFS and 
technologies such as DAX, dedup, compression and encryption,

Steve.
