  • Hacker News
  • Linux has an in-kernel SMB server like Solaris? When the hell did this happen?
  • First time hearing about failfs. Does it have a niche use case or is it just for testing?
  • SMB improvements (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...), I've moved to borg, but depending on how this goes may give time machine another try:

       - Add opt-in Apple Time Machine support
    
         Implement the AAPL negotiation and related Finder, stream,
         COPYCHUNK, sparse-file, CHANGE_NOTIFY, and RPC compatibility
         required for Time Machine shares, allowing macOS backupd to use
         ksmbd for backups

    Still sucks that it has to be reverse-engineered

  • > This release is a record-breaker on all fronts; it brought in 18,765 non-merge commits from 3,021 developers, 807 of whom were first-time kernel developers.
