Ext4 Developer Interlock Call: 9/20/06 Minutes
Attendees: Shaggy (Dave Kleikamp), Jean-Pierre Dion, Alexandre Ratchov,
Valérie Clément, Eric Sandeen, Avantika Mathur
- Shaggy has ported the patch set to 2.6.18-rc7-mm1, and will post the
patches today. Some of the patches are redundant and should be merged
together, Shaggy and Alexandre will be working on this. These patches
have only been compile tested, and need more thorough testing.
Alexandre has been running ext4 on a 20 TB sparse disk for a month and
has not encountered any problems.
- Shaggy and Alexandre will also look back at all of the comments on the
original post, to verify they have been addressed in the updated series.
- Now that 2.6.18 is up, We assume Andrew Morton will be pushing current
ext3 patches in the -mm tree to 2.6.19-rc1. At that point we will try
to merge ext4 patches.
- Alexandre is waiting for feedback from Ted on e2fsprogs patches. Plan
to discuss and review through the mailing list.
- A bug in the JBD patches was found last week; JBD and JBD2 use the
same slab. The kernel crashes if ext3 and ext4 are both loaded. This
problem is probably still present in current set. Easily reproduced by
loading ext3 and ext4 modules, the second one will crash because of
duplicate slab name.
