I'm pleased to announce the 10'th release of the distributed storage subsystem (DST). This is a maintenance release and includes bug fixes and simple feature extensions only. DST allows to form a storage on top of local and remote nodes and combine them into linear or mirroring setup, which in turn can be exported to remote nodes. Short changelog: * fixed bug with XFS metadata update (it can provide slab pages to the DST, so it is not allowed to transfer them using ->sendpage()) * fixed async error completion path * extended netlink communication channel to report errors back to userspace * DST name is now "The 10'th dynasty of smuggled slothes" * number of fixes for userspace DST target Great thanks to Matthew Hodgson for debugging and fixes for userspace DST target and preliminary netlink extension patches. Overall list of features of the DST can be found on project's homepage: http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/old/?section=projects&item=dst Thank you. Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov
