systems

| The patches adopted in Linux 2.6.30 introduce many significant changes

Exciting changes in the 2.6.30 Linux kernel
,----[ Quote ]
| Every Linux kernel release has interesting changes but 2.6.30 really stands
| out to me as having a lot of features I would like to take advantage. In
| 2.6.29 the only really great feature to me was the inclusion of barrier
| support for simple DM devices. It’s only 1 change but an important one in my
| opinion as it will allow an increase in either performance or reliability for
| LVM and dm-crypt devices. But 2.6.30 has a lot of changes that I am likely to
| take advantage of such as:
|
| * The addition of nilfs - I’ve tested nilfs and I am happy to see it
| adopted. I’ve run into problems using it but would like to see it become
| stable. It seems likely to beat btrfs as the first stable Linux disk
| filesystem with snapshots.

Kernel Log: Development of 2.6.30 is under way
,----[ Quote ]
| Shortly after the release of Linux 2.6.29 last Tuesday, the kernel subsystem
| developers began to prepare the first changes to be merged into the main
| development branch for Linux 2.6.30. This is usually done by sending a "Git
| pull request" – an email which includes the URL to a Git tree with the
| proposed changes as well as a diffstat and a list of individual patches – not
| only to Linus Torvalds, but usually also to the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing
| List). Often, the maintainer of the subsystem starts the email with a short
| summary of the proposed changes, highlighting the most important ones, or
| putting the changes into context.
