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.
