Ext4 Filesystem Development Plan Unveiled |
A
series of patches has been proposed on the Linux kernel mailing
list earlier by a team of engineers from Red Hat, ClusterFS, IBM,
and Bull to extend the Ext3 filesystem, adding support for very
large filesystems. After a long discussion, the developers came
forward with a plan to roll these changes into a new version: Ext4. LWN
covered the changes
as well as the
arguments put forward for a new filesystem a few weeks
back.
