Kernel Log â Coming in 2.6.31 - Part 3: Storage and file systems
,----[ Quote ]
| The experimental file system Btrfs, billed as the "next generation file
| system for Linux", should now be even faster. Libata drivers for IDE/PATA
| adaptors are pushing aside the IDE subsystem. The first components for
| defragmenting Ext4 file systems have been merged into the main development
| tree. Systems with Intel ATA chipsets now boot faster thanks to parallel
| hardware scanning.

Torvalds bashes vendor-sec private Linux security list

| I completely agree. Openness and transparency are the key to true security.
| However, I do also understand how this can put vendors and users at risk,
| since patches aren't going to be co-ordinated. It's a tough call and very
| delicate balance that needs to be achieved.

| Lots of small fixes all over, spread out fairly evenly (50% drivers, Âand
| roughly 10% each in arch, fs, kernel, tools/perf, "rest"). And things Âdo
| seem to be calming down, because outside of some further i915 displayport
| patches and a couple of perf-counter patches, almost all of them are pretty
| dang small.
