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.
