| Chris Mason | [ANNOUNCE] Btrfs v0.12 released
Hello everyone,
I wasn't planning on releasing v0.12 yet, and it was supposed to have some
initial support for multiple devices. But, I have made a number of
performance fixes and small bug fixes, and I wanted to get them out there
before the (destabilizing) work on multiple-devices took over.
So, here's v0.12. It comes with a shiny new disk format (sorry), but the gain
is dramatically better random writes to existing files. In testing here, the
random write phase of tiobench went from 1M...

Thanks, Miklos, good explanations in the docs.

Yikes, this could be a problem for containers, as it's simply tied to
uid 0, whereas tying it to a capability would let us solve it with
capability bounds.
This might mean more urgency to get user namespaces working at least
with sysfs, else this is a quick way around having CAP_SYS_ADMIN taken

I think I understand the problem, but not the solution. How do user
namespaces going to help?
Maybe sysctls just need to check capabilities, instead of uids. I
think that would make a lot of sense anyway.
Thanks,
Miklos

Well it somewhat depends on how we implement userns for filesystems
in the first place, and whether we end up splitting sysfs into
sub-filesystems as I think Eric Biederman has been advocating. My
thoughts had been running along the lines of just tagging vfsmounts
with userns of the mounting process. A task from outside the mounting
process' namespace would get user other permissions whether or not
its uid was the owning uid or uid 0 (unless the task had CAP_NS_OVERRIDE).
But really it gets mor...

| Jan Kara | Re: [NFS] [PATCH] Make UDF exportable
Have you ever tried this? I think this could never work. UDF doesn't have
entry named .. in a directory. You have to search for an entry that has
in fileCharacteristics set bit FID_FILE_CHAR_PARENT. Maybe you could
hack-around udf_find_entry() to recognize .. dentry and do the search
Otherwise the patch looks fine. But please rediff the patch against
Andrew's development tree (or -mm) because there are some cleanups there...
Thanks.

Probably not. I just tested that I could read files and navigate the
directory structure. However looking into UDF I think you are right - it
will fail.
I have extended udf_find_entry() to do an explicit check based on
fileCharacteristics as you propose.
Certainly there are. New patch against 2.6.24-mm1:

| Rabeeh Khoury | RE: NFSD on XFS with RT subvolume
I didn't mention that I'm using ARM EABI machine for that; but the same
scenario happened on Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10.
The serial console stops responding, but getting Sysrq with showPc
function working I'v got some stack traces (Look for #stack-trace
below).
I'm running Fedora-8 on the ARM machine using xfsprogs-2.9.4-4.f8 RPM.
The output of formatting /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6 as the rt-subvolume is
the following, but this time /dev/sda5 is 2GByte and /dev/sda6 is
20GByte (look for #mkfs.xfs).

So I've done an extensive review now, but the patches (or rather an
incomplete set, that's even dumber) made it into Linus tree without
things beeing addressed. That's not how it's supposed to work.

I only remember missing a loop unwinding on exit style comment of
yours that was not addressed in what got integrated. I will go back
through your notes again to see if I missed one.
I meant to merge the final patch last week but ran out of time. Will
try to finish that this week.
