Hello, Since ext4 was created at the end of last year, there are many wonderful ideas and patches proposed to add to ext4, waiting for thorough review, comment and testing. Some of them were briefly documented at Ext4 wiki page(http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/New_ext4_features). To spin the wheels faster, at the ext4 interlock call yesterday, it was agreed to create a home for ext4 candidate patches. Ted suggested to host a ext4 git tree somewhere at kernel.org, and probably also put all patches together in quilt format. This will benefit the developer, the reviewer and the end users to look at where things are, sort out the directions, priorities, so we can then work on stabilizing the code and getting it production-ready. Instead of looking back to find out what patches have been posted last year, it seems easier if the patches could be re-post to the mailing list. It would be great to have a description of what the patches for, current status, next steps, any dependencies and outstanding issues (if there is any). P.S. The feature list documented in the ext4 wiki page by no means to be complete, very well may have missed some. Any prototype patches, new ideas, suggestions and requirements are very welcome and appreciated. Happy New year!
