Hi,
This release shorts out finally the POSIX file timestamp updates, thanks to
Yura Pakhuchiy, it defaults to the new 'relatime' access time update method
instead of the old default 'noatime', and fixes two "Input/Output errors"
which could happen during listing the content of a single directory having
over 600,000 files or very rarely when successfully removing a hard link.
We are porting Pawel Jakub Dawidek's (FreeBSD ZFS fame) POSIX file system
regression test suite to Linux and rapidly fixing the found issues.
The tests are run with the development version of the permission handling
enhanced driver and so far it works marvelously. Apart from the not yet
fully validated path and file name length handling and the lack of multi
group support, the driver passes all other test cases with 100% success ...
if the FUSE kernel module fixes are also applied which are needed to
invalidate the cached, stale file timestamps. It is hoped, that the FUSE
fixes will make into the Linux kernel 2.6.24 release.
Jean-Pierre Andre has improved incredible lot on the security enhanced
driver and a new beta version is planned to be released soon at
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/b.andre/security.html
Until then, all those improvements and fixes are available in the CVS
PERMISSION_HANDLING_BRANCH.
Great progress was made on OS X too, thanks to Erik Larsson. NTFS-3G can
be used now on Leopard and the UBLIO version also boost performance
drastically:
