Hello everyone, Btrfs v0.13 is now available for download from: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/btrfs/ We took another short break from the multi-device code to make the minor mods required to compile on 2.6.25, fix some problematic bugs and do more tuning. The most important fix is for file data checksumming errors. These might show up on .o files from compiles or other files where seeky writes were done internally to fill it up. The end result was a bunch of zeros in the file where people expected their data to be. Thanks to Yan Zheng for tracking it down. GregKH provided most of the 2.6.25 port with some sysfs updates. Since the sysfs files are not used much and Greg has offered additional cleanups, I've disabled the btrfs sysfs interface on kernels older than 2.6.25. This way he won't have to back port any of his changes. Optimizations and other fixes: * File data checksumming done in larger chunks, resulting in fewer btree searches and fewer kmap calls. * CPU Optimizations for back reference removal * CPU Optimizations for block allocation, and much more efficient searching through the free space cache. * Allocation optimizations, the free space clustering code was not properly allocating from a cluster once it found it. For normal mounts the fix improves metadata writeback, for mount -o ssd it improves everything. * Unaligned access fixes from Dave Miller * Btree reads are done in larger bios when possible * i_block accounting is fixed -chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
