Re: Working on Discard for FFS



tech-kern,

I wanted to follow up. I’m interesting in doing some work on this and wanted to know the feasibility of and if there was any more information pertaining to the project.

Hey tech-kern,

I want to inquire about working on the "Discard for FFS" project listed on the wiki over the next couple of months.

I just finished a semester-length OS course (working on teaching operating system, ChickadeeOS) where I wrote block-bitmap allocators, extent-based truncate/extend, journalling, and a write-back cache, so the topic should be familiar to me.

With that said, I wanted to know if there was anyone working on this. I'd also welcome any mentorship or advice in regards to working on this project.

Best wishes,
