Hi, Several people have been interested to test my vfs patches, so rather than resend patches I have uploaded a rollup against Linus's current head. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/npiggin/patches/fs-scale/ I have used ext2,ext3,autofs4,nfs as well as in-memory filesystems OK (although this doesn't mean there are no bugs!). Otherwise, if your filesystem compiles, then there is a reasonable chance of it working, or ask me and I can try updating it for the new locking. I would be interested in seeing any numbers people might come up with, including single-threaded performance. Thanks, Nick -- 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
