What kernel do you usually use when testing the dev branch? I started writing an xfstest to test online resize and filesystem filling in parallel, based on test 224 (Delayed allocation at ENOSPC test). I started running test 224 on a kernel built from ext4/master and it seemed to run too slow. looking at the waiting tasks it looked like it could be related to I/O less throttling. Since ext4/master is based on 2.6.39-rc3, I figured maybe I am running a buggy kernel, so I merged 2.6.39-rc7 to ext4/master to build a new kernel. Am I going in the right direction at all? I have a dedicated server for tests (X64_64 quad core), so it you would like me to run some xfstest runs with specific configuration, or certain patches applied, please let me know. > For those folks who aren't regular attendees of the weekly ext4 > conference call[1], and so would have missed the announcement, we've > made a change in how the branchs of the ext4 tree are organized.
