Posted by Michael Larabel on May 08, 2009

Development work on the forthcoming Linux 2.6.30 kernel is slowly winding down as is indicated by this afternoon's release of the Linux 2.6.30-rc5 kernel. This latest 2.6.30 build has a few driver and architecture updates small file-system updates, and other regression fixes scattered throughout.

The release announcement for the Linux 2.6.30-rc5 kernel that was pushed out in time for some weekend testing can be found at LKML.org. This quarterly Linux kernel update brings the NILFS2 file-system (though not as widely anticipated as Btrfs or EXT4), various performance improvements, Microblaze CPU architecture support, and various other features.
