New Features For 2.5 Linux Kernel

Posted by michael on from the modprobe-autopr0n dept.

An anonymous person writes "The current development version of the Linux kernel is 2.5. At the recent Linux kernel summit, it was agreed to have a "feature freeze" on this kernel by October 31, 2002. Here's a story looking at what's left to be merged before the freeze. Projects most likely to make it into 2.5 (and thus be a part of the next stable kernel, 2.6), include: the reverse mapping VM, the Linux Security Module framework, User Mode Linux and support for filesystems greater than 2TB."

    support for filesystems greater than 2TB

    Ah, good! This has been a major stumbling block for me. I've been writing a guide and I hit the 2TB ceiling. My target market is hitchhikers.

    The kernel developers know what a feature freeze is. There's no quotation marks around it in the referenced article. The quotation marks in the slashdot headline came from an "anonymous person" somewhere, and the slashdot "editors" decided to leave it there because they are "editors", not editors.
