    Subject[PATCH 0/17] [LogFS] New flash filesystem
    Date
    Logfs has been around a couple of times.  Linus last word was "go and
    don't come back until all format changes are done". Or something
    along those lines at least.

    Format changes are done. And I don't even intend to break git-bisect
    for anyone crazy enough to use logfs for /. But then again, logfs
    doesn't have the hype of btrfs, nor does it deserve it.

    Most controversial bit (for me, at least) is the btree code. It is
    generic enough to be used by others as well, but last time I checked,
    rbtree performed better. So unless someone (me?) spends some time to
    see what's going on, a short-term option would be to move it all under
    fs/logfs/, making it unavailable for others and remove it completely
    unless good arguments are found in favor.

    Patch 18 is a bonus for anyone lucky enough to have a decent device.
    For those not too familiar with mtd - all mtd operations are
    synchronous. Which makes the interface horribly slow on devices that
    support asynchronous operations, queueing or even parallel operations
    on multiple chips. I have a prototype device that shows promise,
    along with the usual problems of prototypes. So together with the
    paper-thin infrastructure patch [1] and a decent device, that patch
    allows logfs to make several thousand IO/s.

    Mails are purely for review and comments. If this is deemed
    merge-ready, please the git tree at
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/joern/logfs.git
    instead.
