Kernel Log: New kernel versions, progress with Btrfs and Tux3
,----[ Quote ]
| After the release of kernel version 2.6.27.7 in the second half of November,
| the maintainers of the stable kernel series recently released version
| 2.6.27.8. Both versions contain a fix for a security vulnerability, while in
| 2.6.27.8 more than a hundred other changes offer small improvements and
| correct flaws, like the cosmetic improvement to fix the "dirty feet" of the
| penguins displayed when booting the framebuffer console.

Tux3: the other next-generation filesystem
,----[ Quote ]
| There is a great deal of activity around Linux filesystems currently. Of the
| many ongoing efforts, two receive the most attention: ext4, the extension of
| ext3 expected to keep that filesystem design going for a few more years, and
| btrfs, which is seen by many as the long-term filesystem of the future. But
| there is another project out there which is moving quickly and is worth a
| look: Daniel Phillips's Tux3 filesystem.

Btrfs 0.16, Improved Scalability And Performance
,----[ Quote ]
| "Btrfs v0.16 is available for download," began Chris Mason, announcing the
| latest release of his new Btrfs filesystem. He noted, "v0.16 has a shiny new
| disk format, and is not compatible with filesystems created by older Btrfs
| releases. But, it should be the fastest Btrfs yet, with a wide variety of
| scalability fixes and new features." Improved scalability and performance
| improvements include fine grained btree locking, pushing CPU intensive
| operations such as checksumming into their own background threads, improved
| data=ordered mode, and a new cache to reduce IO requirements when cleaning up
| old transactions.

Kernel space: a better btrfs
,----[ Quote ]
| A powerful new filesystem for Linux already supports fast snapshots,
| checksums for all data, and online resizing--and plans to add ZFS-style
| built-in striping and mirroring.
