1. Prominent features (the cool stuff)

1.1. NILFS2, a log-structured filesystem

Contributor: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_Telegraph_and_Telephone_Corporation NTT Labs] (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation)

NILFS2 is a new filesystem which uses a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-structured_file_system log-structured] design. What makes log-structured filesystems different is that they treat the whole disk as a consecutive list of blocks (called log). All the operations append data at the end of the log, they never rewrite blocks (except when there's no space left - in that case, new blocks are reclaimed from the tail of the log). The advantage of this approach is that writes are always sequential. Crashes can't corrupt the filesystem. On mount, the filesystem detects the real end of the log, and continues working from that point.

Another advantage of this approach is that the log offers a coherent historical view of all the operations done in the disk in the past. This is called "continuous snapshotting" - snapshots of modifications done in all the filesystem at any time are created automatically due to the log-structure design, with no requeriment of intervention from an admin, and with the filesystem size as the only limit. NILFS2 allows to access those snapshots and even mount them (on read-only mode).

NILFS2 is [http://www.nilfs.org/en/current_status.html under development]. Code: [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tree;f=fs/nilfs2;hb=HEAD fs/nilfs2/]. Filesystem web page: [http://www.nilfs.org www.nilfs.org]

1.2. Fastboot

Recommended LWN article: [http://lwn.net/Articles/314808/ (commit)]

Contributor: Intel

Some parts of the kernel boot process can delay the whole process too many time (by kernel's standards): scanning in search of storage devices for a given controller, and searching for partitions, for example, can be slow, because the scanning is synchronous, only one device is scanned at a time, and the kernel has to wait for the devices. With this feature, those steps are done asyncrhonously, so the kernel can keep booting the rest of the kernel while the storage devices are scanned in parallel. This feature speeds up the total kernel boot time significantly

1.3. EXOFS, a filesystem for Object-Based Storage Devices

Recommended LWN article: [http://lwn.net/Articles/305740/ Linux and object storage devices]

Contributor: ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panasas Panasas])

Traditional storage devices offer a block-based interface. However, there's a new generation of experimental storage devices that are trying to offload some work from the host, and offer a higher-level interface: an array of objects. The OS interfaces with the objects, and the drive hides all the storage details, removing most of the low-level details of the filesystem. A traditional filesystem can then be easily implemented on top of this interface. The OSD interface works on top of SCSI.

In this release Linux adds support for the OSD protocol on the SCSI stack, and exofs, an implementation of a traditional unix filesystem that works on top of OSD storage devices.

1.4. NFS 4.1 preliminary support

Contributors: Panasas, Netapp and IBM.

NFS 4.1 is being developed at the IETF. From the many new features in NFSv4.1, this Linux version adds the mandatory-to-implement NFSv4.1 Sessions. Other features, [http://pnfs.com Parallel NFS] in particular, are still [http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/PNFS_prototype_design under development out of tree] and will be added in later releases.

To enable this experimental new protocol (which is disabled by default) you need an updated nfs-utils.

1.5. FS-Cache, a caching filesystem

Recommended LWN article: [http://lwn.net/Articles/100321/ A general caching filesystem]

Contributor: Red Hat

FS-Cache is the Linux implementation of a cache layer for networking filesystems, similar to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CacheFS CacheFS] of other Unixes. With FS-Cache, data from the networked filesystems can be cached on the disk, speeding up operations.

This version adds support for NFS and AFS, but it's a generic layer that could be used by other networking filesystems or even non-networking (such as ISO9660).

1.7. Filesystems performance improvements

Shortly after the 2.6.29 release, lots of discussions occurred on LKML about disk I/O (summary available [http://lwn.net/Articles/326471/ at LWN]), how (and why) they can stall processes for minutes, and the effect of getting a file zeroed when rebooting after a rename or a truncate. Some changes have been done to limit those problems, like [http://valhenson.livejournal.com/36519.html setting the default mount-option to relatime], implicit internal fsync of a file after a rename or truncate in ext3, ext4 and btrfs, faster fsync() in ext3, default to data=writeback mode in Ext3, and improvements to CFQ.

1.9. Integrity Management Architecture

Contributor: IBM

Recommended LWN article: [http://lwn.net/Articles/227937/ ]

The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash values of executables and other sensitive system files, as they are read or executed. If an attacker manages to change the contents of an important system file being measured, we can tell. If your system has a TPM chip, then IMA also maintains an aggregate integrity value over this list inside the TPM hardware, so that the TPM can prove to a third party whether or not critical system files have been modified.
