First of all, I have to say thanks to Tim Bird and CELF to actively support the project. Since the last review (June 2009) a lot of things are changed: - removed any reference of BKL - fixed the endianess for the fs layout - added support for extended attributes, ACLs and security labels - moved out any pte manipulations from fs and inserted them in mm - implemented the new truncate convention - fixed problems with 64bit archs ...and much more. Complete "story" in the ChangeLog inserted in the documentation file. Since the patch is long, you can download and review the patch from the project site: http:\\pramfs.sourceforge.net. The patch version is 1.2.1 for kernel 2.6.36. In addition, in the web site tech page, you can find a lot of information about implementation, technical details, benchemarking and so on.
