Hi Michael, I am an undergraduate from China. I asked a similar question in the list several days ago. Considering the connecting situation in my city(Nanjing, Jiangsu), I used CHINATELECOM and it can speed up over 2MB/s when cloning the souce tree. I don't think it is the GFW that causes trouble. My suggestion is changing to another ISP. Alternatively, I can share my mainline kernel tree(git cloned from git.kernel.org) with you via Baidu Pan: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJ5akjD You need to `git pull` to update it after uncompressing because it is a little bit out-of-date. Hope this can help! Freeman -------- Original Message -------- > Hi, Ming Lin > > > I'm a college student in China. My research for the master degree is related to Linux kernel, which has driven me to learn a lot about the kernel. Thus It makes me eager to be a kernel contributor. I want to participate the project "Block layer projects that I haven't had time for" raised by Kent. I have read the mails about it in lkml and the source code. > > > But there is still two problems. > 1. Until now my way of getting source is directly download tar package from kernel.org. I know it will be better to use git, but I found that it is quite slow with the speed of only 20 KB per second. I have configured my PC to by pass the annoying GFW so I think it is nothing with it. > > > I guess you're also in China from your name and you are also participating in this project.

If not, should I clone the bcache tree from this address http://evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git? > And I found the address https://github.com/dongsupark/linux%3E gives me a 404 not found response, which is mentioned in lkml by Donsu Park > > > Thanks a lot! > > > Michael > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Kernelnewbies mailing list > Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies >
