There are various topics particularly important to network and cluster
file systems:
- additional metadata on files, directories, mount points (statx,
enhancements to the mount API, ACLs etc.)
- performance related features (leases/delegation, RDMA
integration, reflink/clone extensions, handling sideeffects of long
latency network connections on common fs operations by better
aggregating series of related operations together)
- security features
- mapping features available in various network and cluster FS
protocols to Linux
(in the past we also have discussed richacl, and a few features that
would help Samba server).
