I have finally added support for a page size greater than 4K for jfs and the code is now in 2.6.12-rc2-mm1. This will allow jfs to work on architectures with larger page sizes: alpha, sparc, all configs of ia64, etc.
I completely replaced the address-space operations for jfs's metadata, and I expect to see some performance improvements on workloads that stress metadata operations. I welcome anybody interested to stress jfs on 2.6.12-rc2-mm1 and give me any feedback, bug reports, flames, etc. Thanks, Shaggy -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
