We're happy to announce the first stable release of Unionfs-ODF, for 2.6.24-rc3.
For those who may not be familiar with it: Unionfs-ODF (On Disk Format) is a new version of unionfs2 which is designed to maintain all union-level metadata in a persistent cache, called the "odf". It has many benefits, which are enumerated in <http://www.filesystems.org/unionfs-odf.txt> including improved namespace handling, persistent inode numbers, improved readdir/seekdir features and performance, and NFS exporting (the latter is coming real soon -- the exporting API has changed b/t 2.6.23 and 2.6.24). What we've done recently is port many features and fixes from the regular Unionfs-2.1.10 branch, into the ODF branch. This improves stability considerably: our regression suite and LTP now pass identically on unionfs-2.1.10 and unionfs-odf-2.1.10. From now on we intend to keep the two "flavors" of unionfs in sync. You can find links to specific ODF releases for specific kernels in either of these two URLs: <http://unionfs.filesystems.org/> <http://download.filesystems.org/unionfs/unionfs-odf/> As usual, feel free to report all problems you find to <https://bugzilla.filesystems.org/> Enjoy. Erez, on behalf of the Unionfs team. _______________________________________________ unionfs mailing list: http://unionfs.filesystems.org/ unionfs@mail.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/mailman/listinfo/unionfs
