An Update On Reiser4 For The Mainline Linux Kernel
In November of 2009 we reported that the Reiser4 file-system may go into the mainline Linux kernel in late 2010. We're now into 2011 with the merge window having closed earlier this month for the Linux 2.6.38 kernel and there's no sign of this open-source file-system designed to succeed the popular ReiserFS. So what gives? Well, we have another update from its lead developer.
It was Edward Shishkin that told us in 2009 that we could see Reiser4 in the mainline Linux kernel in 2010. Edward's reasoning for this 2010 target was first to allow time to publish a design document about Reiser4, such as for USENIX 2010, to gain some independent expert review. Edward is the developer that basically took over leading the Reiser4 development after the founder of ReiserFS/Reiser4, Hans Reiser, was convicted of murdering his wife.
Curious as to what the state of Reiser4 is now at since there's been no large public debate in recent times about pushing it into the mainline kernel, we reached out to Edward again.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
