Some of the topics I want to cover are * Metadata tracking, writeback, and reclaim * Smarter fs cache shrinking * Non-page size block size handling Dave please tell me you are going to be there this year? It's going to be completely useless for me to talk about this stuff if you aren't in the room. These are all big topics in and of themselves so if we just need to get you, me, Jan, and some poor MM guy locked in a room with a couple of bottles of liquor until we figure it out then that's fine. I'm hoping to have the metadata tracking stuff fixed up and at least mergable by LSF, but there's still stuff to be added to that infrastructure later on, and the other topics we need to agree on a direction. Thanks, Josef
