= Prominent features in Linux 3.2 =

== Feature 1 ==


= File systems =
 * Ext4
  * Add new online resize ioctl [http://git.kernel.org/linus/19c5246d251640ac76daa4d34165af78c64b1454 (commit)]
 * GFS2
  * dlm based recovery coordination [http://git.kernel.org/linus/e0c2a9aa1e68455dc3439e95d85cabcaff073666 (commit)]
