It is ready now (though it should be considered an experimental filesystem until
VFS stays unchanged for a week, hmmm, maybe ext2 should also....:-) ), but with
Linus in Finland, I am assuming we aren't going to get merged at least until he
gets back. Alan, tell me if I am right about that. Once VFS stays stable for a
week, I can ask people to consider using the port to linux 2.4 on production
systems. I have to say though that the benchmarks I am seeing, which suggest
that performance for both ext2 and reiserfs dropped in a number of areas
compared to Linux 2.2, suggest that VFS needs more work, which frankly worries
me. We haven't benchmarked on the very latest 2.4, so if performance got a lot
better since 2.3.99-pre9 then disregard my concerns.
Yura, do some benchmarks on the latest linux kernel....
