I have been a Btrfs contributor for a little more than 2 years. Apart from contributing some bug fix patches, I have been mostly working on getting subpage-blocksize feature (i.e. block size < page size) to work well in Btrfs. The most recent posts of the corresponding patchset can be found at, 1. Cleanup patchset http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/52394 2. Core patchset http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/52408 Very recently the cleanup patchset associated with the subpage-blocksize feature has been queued for inclusion in Dave Sterba's for-next branch (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/52678). I am interested in attending LSF/MM summit to mostly discuss the future direction of the subpage-blocksize patchset i.e. The core patchset currently addresses only regular I/O and also some of the features like Defrag and Extent cloning. The rest of the features like Scrubbing and Compression need to be fixed to work in subpage-blocksize scenario. I believe a face-to-face discussion with other Btrfs developers (to address some of the pain points of the patchset) would accelerate the process of inclusion of the patchset into the mainline kernel. I am also interested in other Btrfs or general filesystem topics. -- chandan -- 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
