Linux 3.7 will be a fairly boring release as far as XFS is concerned, the biggest user visible changes are an intelligent implementation of the lseek SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA calls, and finally the switch to use the inode64 allocator by default. The XFS development tree for Linux 3.8 started getting commits in October as well, most notably a large cleanup of the periodic sync code. On the user space side we saw release candidate for the next releases of the XFS tools. For xfsprogs the 3.1.9-rc1 release brings various fixes in xfs_repair, especially dealing with directories as well as various improvements in xfs_db and mkfs.xfs, three new commands for xfs_io and a few user visible fixes to xfs_quota. The xfsdump 3.1.1-rc1 release adds a German string translation and support for 32-bit project IDs. xfstests saw its usual stream of fixes, but also a new ext4-specific test case and a switch to use the util-linux version of fstrim instead of a bundled one. All user space projects saw various improvements to the build system. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
