Hey everyone, Sorry the weekly vdev update is a day late this time. I've been traveling most of this week, so I haven't had much time to work on it. However, I am happy to report that:
* Thanks to Isaac Durham, vdev should now create the /dev/by-label symlinks for disks. * vdevfs (the filesystem half of vdev) will preserve device nodes across crashes (NOT YET COMMITTED). * vdevfs will delegate storage of its API data (i.e. stuff that would normally have to be pulled from a udevadm-like tool) to tmpfs, mounted at /dev/vdev by default. This reduces the complexity of the implementation and increases I/O performance without losing functionality. This closes issue #15. * fskit [1], a filesystem library I built for making API filesystems (which vdevfs uses), has received several bugfixes to remove some deadlock conditions that occur when using certain combinations of inode consistency disciplines. Also, some use-after-free bugs have been discovered and fixed. Both were discovered while testing runfs [2], which just got a trunc(2) implementation. It's going to be a busy week for me, but I hope to have at least one day free this weekend to address vdev issues #8 and #11.
