In the meantime some big patch series to rework the sync code and the inode allocator have been posted for the next merge window. On the userspace side xfsprogs and xfsdump 3.0.1 were finally released, quickly followed by 3.0.2 releases with updated Debian packaging. After that various small patches that were held back made it into xfsprogs. A patch to add the xfs_reno tool which allows to move inodes around to fit into 32 bit inode number space has been posted which is also one central aspect of future online shrinking support. There has been major activity on xfstests including adding generic filesystems support to allow running tests that aren't XFS-specific on any Linux filesystems. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
