    Btrfs Gets A Few More Linux 3.15 Changes

    Phoronix: Btrfs Gets A Few More Linux 3.15 Changes

    For the Linux 3.15 kernel were already a lot of Btrfs bug and performance fixes, but now late into the 3.15 merge window have been some more fixes...

    It really sucks how on Arch or its derivatives, you have to try building LLVM from their SVN from scratch to get the radeonSI gl 3.3 shader compiler. Arch got Mesa 10.1 like a month ago but I won't see 3.3 and Metro Last Light until summer. Meanwhile, 14.04 has backported the patches. I wouldn't want a backport, though, I like the canonical (heh) releases the way the devs want them.

      The article above this one is about LLVM, this one is about btrfs.

        Wrong thread?

        Anyhow, the pull request has some work to the scrub.c has some work, with the commend: "Btrfs: scrub raid56 stripes in the right way". Does this mean that Raid 5/6 scrubbing is finally working? If so, this is huge news. It would be great if RAID5/6 is finally ready for use.

            Wow! Nice catch. I haven't seen that picked up anywhere else, but you're right. That's huge. (Especially for me, because I just built a Btrfs Raid6 in hopes that scrub would come around eventually)
