Hi, giving the new SMR technology, and the current performance penalty we might see with some write patterns (mainly random-write related), I'd like to join into a discussion about what kind of filesystem improvements we can implement to reduce the re-write performance impact on these disks and, of course, help implementing them. I'm mostly interested in ext4 and xfs since these are the filesystems I actively work on, but I'm willing to help/contribute with another filesystems that also need changes on their write patterns. -- Carlos -- 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
