Experiences porting XFS to Linux and attempting to cache filesystem metadata in the pagecacheThe XFS filesystem code on Irix consists of about 112 thousand lines of code (including comments). We will talk about what happened when we tried to move this to the Linux kernel. Just to make things more interested we also decided to implement filesystem meta data caching in the page cache instead of the buffer cache.
Steve LordSteve is a senior filesystem developer at SGI. Steve graduated from the University of Manchester with a degree in computer science and has been working on Unix systems since 1983 and on filesystems since 1992. A Linux user since 1991, Steve finally got to work on Linux in his day job this year.
