HAMMER update 05-May-2008
I am now working on the filesystem full handling. Everything else is
working and appears to be stable.
Current issues:
* There may be a few undo cases where recovery-after-crash is
unsuccessful, or results in an assertion later on. I found
a big issue with the kernel itself trying to sync the buffers
and I whacked that (the last thing HAMMER wants is for the kernel
to sync its buffers!). I am continuing to test by intentionally
crashing the system both under a vkernel and on real test boxes.
* Reading and writing are not optimized well yet. For reading the issue
is a lack of clustering and read-ahead support (yet). For writing
the issue is due to the way buffers are staged out to the backend.
Both issues are fairly straight forward, but they aren't high
priority at the moment.
* The filesystem full handling isn't in yet. That is next on my list.
I have begun testing HAMMER on real hardware. My backup machine is now
running a 700GB HAMMER filesystem. I expect more issues will work their
way out of the woodwork but right now things are looking *very* good.
