Linux 2.6.30 is currently in development. The last prepatch version is -rc2, released the 15th April.

This page is, obviously, a work in progress.

1. Prominent features (the cool stuff)

1.1. NILFS2, a log-structured filesystem

NILFS2 is a new filesystem, contributed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_Telegraph_and_Telephone_Corporation NTT] (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation) Labs. It 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. Support for Object-Based Storage Device

Object-Based Storage Device (OSD) are basically "smart" disks, which do not store the data as blocks, but more elaborated objects. 2.6.30 adds support to these devices in the SCSI layer, as well as the addition of a filesystem (exofs, Extended Object File System) able to use them.

([http://lwn.net/Articles/305740/ LWN's Article], where exofs is still known by its old name, osdfs)

1.3. FS-Cache, a caching filesystem

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

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 this system, 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)

1.4. 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.

1.5. Microblaze CPU architecture

This release adds support for the MMU-less [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroBlaze Microblaze] FDT CPU architecture.

Code: [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tree;f=arch/microblaze;hb=HEAD arch/microblaze/]
