As for what will likely be merged in the next couple of weeks and be part of the upcoming 2.6.14 release, Andrew listed several filesystems including relayfs [story], v9fs [story], and FUSE [story]. Regarding the latter he noted that he was, "fed up with arguing - any remaining problems can be fixed up in-tree if anyone can think of how to fix them." As for much anticipated Reiser4, Andrew summarized, "Stuck. Last time we discussed this I asked the reiser4 team to develop and negotiate a bullet-point list of things to be addressed. Once that's agreed to, implement it and then we can merge it. None of that has happened and as far as I know, all the review feedback which was provided was lost." Full Story |
