While there are hardware fixes, the main reason for 5.10.8 being important is that the Btrfs performance regression introduced in 5.10.0 was fixed in that release. With this release, Btrfs I/O performance is at least 50% higher than 5.9 across virtually all workloads. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
