Subject:  [bk patch] ibu filesystem
Date:  Mon, 25 Aug 2003 19:56:28 -0400

At the moment, it's a mostly-boring filesystem.  Local blkdev
filesystem, sortof an extent-based ext2.  Gonna be playing around
with atomic metadata updates, runtime file optimizations, and other
goodies as time permits.

Features it does have:  may even work.  if you're really lucky, it won't
corrupt your data.  bones for a background block reclaim (speeds up
unlink, maybe?).  attempts to intelligently allocate blocks for some
cases, with file size hueristics mostly.  probably some other stuff I
don't remember :)

The only recent change is rediffing ibu against 2.4.22.



A bare-bones mkfs util is in CVS at
	http://sourceforge.net/projects/fstools/
which may or may not work.

Insane BK users may issue a

	bk pull bk://kernel.bkbits.net/jgarzik/ibu-2.4

Others nutters may download the patch from

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/2.4/2.4.22-ibu1.patch.bz2
