For your information.. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erez Zadok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Jun 18, 2007 2:10 AM Subject: [Unionfs] [ANNOUNCE] Unionfs 2.0 for 2.6.22-rc5-u1 (and rc4-u2) released To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We're pleased to announce the first (u1) release of Unionfs 2.0, built and tested against linux-2.6.22-rc5; we're also announcing the second release (u2) against linux-2.6.22-rc4 (both releases are identical, just for different code bases). This release has one new major feature that we know many of you will like: CACHE COHERENCY. Simply put, you can modify files and directories on the lower branches, and the next time you access your union, those new file/directory changes will be visible. The work to get cache coherency between Unionfs and the lower layers actually began a while back with the introduction of the remount-based branch-management support. This release represents the rest of it. One "side effect" to this release is that we have fixed many inconsistencies in how Unionfs maintained its inode a/c/mtime's: Unionfs now keeps its mtimes strictly in sync with the lower inodes such that the lower a/c/mtime's are never newer than Unionfs's times. If anyone is interested in more detail about Unionfs's cache-coherency support, see the updated documentation (after applying this patch), in Documentation/filesystems/unionfs/concepts.txt. Since this release represents a fair amount of new functionality, we hope those of you who need this new functionality will give it a good and thorough testing. As usual, feel free to report all problems you find to <https://bugzilla.filesystems.org/>. You can download the new release directly from here: <ftp://ftp.filesystems.org/pub/unionfs/unionfs-2.x/linux-2.6.22-rc5-u1.diff.gz> or from the main Unionfs 2.0 Web site: <http://unionfs.filesystems.org/> Enjoy. Erez, on behalf of the Unionfs team. _______________________________________________ unionfs mailing list: http://unionfs.filesystems.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/mailman/listinfo/unionfs -- Lucas powered by /dev/dsp _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
