similar to: tytso's readdir speedup patch - adoptable?

I asked Ted about his patch for ext3 and ext2 and this is his response. I am not sure if his post will reach lkml since it's sent to vger.rutgers.edu IMHO, With the amount of work Andrew has done to make ext3 usable for MTA applications, Ted's work would make ext3 even better for MTA apps sinc both Postfix/qmail use 'find' in their control-scripts and queue statistics program

Hi all, Following the lines of Red Hat's announcement for commitment for better open-source model, along with many other companies (lead by Facebook/Google/IBM) [1], Gluster project is also proposing to have the COMMITMENT statement in its project. While we discuss about the same here, a RFC patch is submitted to review. [2] [1] -

Just to correct, the GCC back-end isn't being depreciated in favour of the LLVM back-end (as much as I would to claim it was). The GCC back-end has been on the list of things GHC developers wanted to remove for a while now and the larger reason its being done now is that SSE support has recently been added to the native code generator, fixing one of the last advantages the C back-end had.

Hi, Will rsync adopt Kerberos/GSSAPI integration? It would be really good if we could establish password-less connections that adhere to user permissions. I am aware there is a patched version of rsync for this purpose, but it seems to run a few versions behind the main releases. Are there any plans to incorporate the work done there into the main release? (see http://jrds.fr/rsynck for

The Samba docs just improved by a huge leap. O'Reilly have released "Using Samba" under an open content license. They have sent me the full sources for the book and I will be working to get it formatted to be useful as a good online resource as soon as I can. Within the Samba Team we have decided to adopt the book as the "official" book for Samba. We plan to keep it up to
