Please elaborate your involvement in XFS.

There is an ongoing (but not formally GSoC) project by Maciej to port
XFS testsuite for the NetBSD filesystems. We probably could use some
help here.

GSoC Proposal - Defragmentation for FFS

2020-01-19 Thread Chen,Xizi
Hi NetBSD Community,

I am currently a first year Master's Degree student studying Computer Science 
at Northwest Missouri State University. I'm a professional C/C++ developer with 
about 4 years of work experience as a storage systems engineer. My work mostly 
revolved around storage stack and I/O path in general.

One of the issues that hits very close to home for me is file system aging. I'm 
interested in learning in detail how to tackle fragmentation. I believe 
"Defragmentation for FFS" project provides me an excellent opportunity to learn 
more.

I have experience using and writing software in Linux, including experience in 
writing and debugging kernel modules. I am interested in learning more about 
the project "Defragmentation for FFS" albeit my work mostly involved working 
with XFS, I am more than willing to learn and contribute to it.

Looking forward to learning more about the project and working with NetBSD 
community.

Cheers,
Xizi Chen,
NWMSU
