Since the 2.6.32 kernel is one of the long-term stable kernels, and since a few projects (such as OpenVZ) and distros (such as Debian) are using the 2.6.32 kernel, I've put together an experimental git branch to backport later btrfs patches to the 2.6.32 kernel. Let me know if there's any interest in this experiment, and I'll try to keep it maintained. I've placed a git repository containing this work here: http://gitweb.sabayon.org/?p=linux/kernel/btrfs-backport.git;a=summary The backport is currently in "works-for-me" status, and I have been using it for about a week without crashes. I did not attempt to backport every patch that has touched linux/fs/btrfs compared to the 2.6.32 kernel. Some patches were part of larger kernel updates that would be outside the scope of a backport. I was able to backport the DIO patches and the improvements to ENOSPC handling, as well as most of the other patches in the btrfs-unstable repository. Let me know if you have any feedback. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
