Video: Ted Ts'o on Ext4, BtrFS, First Steps with Linux
by Rahul Sundaram 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi Note that Fedora 11 Alpha uses ext4 as the default filesystem and has experimental support for btrfs as well. http://www.osnews.com/story/21057/Video_Ted_Ts_o_on_Ext4_BtrFS_First_Steps_… "Linux Magazine has put up a video of Ted Tso, one of the primary developers of Ext4 and current CTO of Linux Foundation, on the current state of Ext4, the current plan of Fedora to have it as the default filesystem for Fedora 11, how it compares to Btrfs, and other insights. Ted says that Ext4 is close to production-ready being built on the mature and stable Ext3 codebase and being an evolutionary step that brings in additional performance and scalability. Btrfs is a completely new filesytem developed from scratch with a number of new features like filesystem level snapshots that Ext4 could not accommodate. Ext4 is well on its way to becoming the next standard filesystem for Linux while allowing Btrfs to innovate more and mature over time." Rahul

Intel, Nvidia Kernel Mode-Setting In Fedora 11
by Rahul Sundaram 02 Mar '09

Hi, Essentially this means you will see Plymouth graphical bootup look better in a lot more systems and easily enabled in Nvidia systems as well. KMS brings in a number of other benefits as well. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzEwMA "Just three days ago we shared that Nouveau will become the default NVIDIA driver in Fedora 11 to replace the obfuscated xf86-video-nv mess. Now proposed for Fedora 11 is to also integrate the Nouveau kernel mode-setting driver." "Enabled by default on Fedora 11 will be Intel kernel mode-setting (along with the ATI kernel mode-setting that can already be found in Fedora 10). More on this is also available from the Fedora Wiki. ATI kernel mode-setting has been enabled since Fedora 10, but in Leonidas the support will be extended to support KMS on ATI R100/200 hardware.
