Yesterday, the kernel development team have released kernel version 2.6.32.1. As I was looking at the ChangeLog from kernel.org website, I have noticed that there are not much changes to this kernel, besides tons of fixed for ext4 file system. It seems the previous kernel, 2.6.32, had some regression when it came to ext4 file system. I’m not really sure how much of the issues were solved regarding the ext4 file system, but I hope it did improve, as there was some performance losses because of this.
