Linux 2.6.0-test9 Released

Posted by timothy on from the asymptotia dept.

keesh writes "Linux kernel 2.6.0-test9 is now out. Changes include SATA support and XFS and CIFS fixes. Because of the change freeze, this is a fairly minor update. In the announcement, Linus suggests that -test10 will be the final release before 2.6.0-final. Don't forget to use a mirror."

    Well, I'll bite.

    SATA is Serial ATA, a technology where a serial connection with thin cable replaces the parallel connector with the wide cable for your hard-drive.

    XFS is a journaled high-performance file system from SGI. Nice for big servers.

    CIFS is a file system for shared folders in Windows. You share files in a recent version of Windows, you use CIFS.
