Hi all I'm a student of ICT currently doing my master's degree besides working as a research assistant. Currently I'm looking for topics for my master thesis. One of my ideas was to work on Btrfs. I studied the list of project ideas at https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas and am especially interested in working on one of the following topics: 1. (Enhanced) hot spare support as described in https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas#Hot_spare_support and https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas#.22Enhanced.22_.28ala_RAID.29_support 2. Adding more checksumming algorithms ( https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas#More_checksumming_algorithms ) 3. Improving subvolume handling regarding taking recursive snapshots ( https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas#Take_recursive_snapshots ) and taking snapshots of arbitrary directories ( https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas#Snapshot_arbitrary_directories ) What is the current state of development concerning these features? I did see Josef Bacik being listed as working on 2. at https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Roadmap after a quick search but nothing on the other things. What would I need to know before going about one of these?
