I interested in helping improving the compression of btrfs by using a set of threads using work queues like XFS or reads and keeping the page cache after reading compressed blocks as these seem to be a great way to improve on compression performance mostly with large partitions of compressed data. I am not asking you to write the code for me but as I am new a little guidance and help would be greatly appreciated as this seems like too much work for just a newbie. Thanks A lot, Nick -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
