Is Torvalds reducing bloat in Linux 2.6.35 ?
,----[ Quote ]
| Linus Torvalds has commented in the past that
| he thought that the Linux kernel was too
| bloated. To date though, not much (if
| anything) has been done to combat Linux bloat,
| but that might just be changing with the
| upcoming Linux 2.6.35 release.
|
| [...]
|
| I've heard kernel developer Andrew Morton
| answer questions about how to address Linux
| bloat. Basically his standard answer is that
| if someone wants to tackle the problem they
| should go out and do it.

| So -rc2 is out there, and hopefully fixes
| way more problems than it introduces.

ZFS for the Linux kernel
,----[ Quote ]
| Developers at the Lawrence Livermore
| National Laboratory have cooperated with
| Oracle to port large parts of Solaris' ZFS
| file system to the Linux kernel. Their aim
| is to make the distributed Lustre file
| system available under Linux with ZFS.
|
| [...]
|
| Native ZFS for Linux can be compiled with
| kernel versions up to 2.6.32; among the
| tested platforms are the 2.6.32 kernel in
| Fedora 12 and in the beta version of Red
| Hat Enterprise Linux 6, as well as the
| 2.6.18 kernel in RHEL 5. The build
| requires the Solaris Porting Layer and a
| 64-bit Linux system.

Uptake of native Linux ZFS port hampered by license conflict
,----[ Quote ]
| A group of open source software developers
| working at Lawrence Livermore National
| Laboratory (LLNL) have implemented a
| native Linux port of Sun's ZFS filesystem.
| Although the code is functional and
| available for download (but not
| production-ready yet), it cannot be merged
| upstream or shipped in binary form with
| the Linux kernel due to a licensing
| conflict. Sun distributes the OpenSolaris
| source code under its own Common
| Development and Distribution License
| (CDDL), which is incompatible with GNU's
| General Public License (GPL).

10 Reasons Why ZFS Rocks
,----[ Quote ]
| Sun's (NASDAQ: JAVA) open-source ZFS file system
| has some amazing features. It was originally
| designed for Solaris and unveiled in 2005, but
| you'll also find it in OpenSolaris and related
| distributions. In the future it may well become
| a popular file system to run with Linux and BSD
| as well.
