Re: [00/41] Large Blocksize Support V7 (adds memmap support)

So no, I don't think I'm really going against the basics of what we agreed in Cambridge. But it sounds like it's still being billed as first-order support right off the bat here. Well its seems that we have different interpretations of what was agreed on. My understanding was that the large blocksize patchset was okay provided that I supply an acceptable mmap implementation and put a warning in. I think all we agreed on was that both patches needed significant work and would need to be judged after they were completed ;-) There was talk of putting Christoph's approach in more-or-less as-is as a very specialized and limited application ... but I don't think we concluded anything for the more general and long-term case apart from this is hard ;-) M. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-fsdevel in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'll try to start working that out after we have a rough idea of who's interested. Do we have any data preferences yet? You mean date? VM is arranged for the 3rd, IIRC Kernel summit doesn't start until the 5th, so there's a gap on the 4th if you want to sort out the fs stuff then? Not 100% sure on the dates.
