This week at LWN: Linux and object storage devices

11/16/2008  
Relevance: 5.51
The btrfs filesystem is widely regarded as being the long-term future choice for Linux. But what if btrfs is taking the wrong direction, fighting an old war? If the nature of our storage devices changes significantly, our filesystems will have to change as well. A lot of attention has been paid to the increasing prevalence of flash-based devices, but there is another upcoming technology which should be planned for: object storage devices (OSDs). The recent posting of a new filesystem called osdfs provides a good opportunity to look at OSDs and how they might be supported under Linux.

Using external file devices in Linux: Climbing the"mount" command

04/02/2007  
Relevance: 5.44
In my four years of using Linux, it has gotten a lot better about automatically detecting and mounting devices; in particular, I almost never have to mount hard drives or cd-roms manually any more. Other devices, however, remain problematic. You may never have to use the mount command in Linux. You may also win the lottery jackpot; I wouldn't bet on either. This article is intended to help new users save a lot of the time and trouble that I have gone through.

Small-scale SNMP reporting

02/13/2008  
Relevance: 5.28
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a useful tool for examining the state of devices on a network. The open source world offers a number of consoles designed to manage the information from these devices and produce reports. However, there are circumstances in which access to the devices at a more customizable level is more beneficial. Given that the programming involved is minimal, it is worth considering custom applications for SNMP reporting.

Relevance: 5.21
Storage manufacturers are getting ready to start shipping solid state disks, and Linux-based devices like One Laptop per Child's XO and Intel's Classmate don't contain standard hard disks. To improve performance on the wide array of flash memory storage devices now available, project leader Jërn Engel has announced LogFS, a scalable filesystem specifically for flash devices.

Controlling desktop applications with six degrees of freedom

05/28/2008  
Relevance: 4.89
Six degrees of freedom (6DOF) devices allow for movement in three axes, tilt in two axes, and rotation in the third. Some of these devices look like small joysticks -- for example, the SpaceNavigator. These devices are typically used for computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and other 3-D applications. With a new programming library, you can now also use them with Linux applications. You might wonder why you would ever want to use such a device with a desktop application. Well, imagine using the rotation of the device to control your video playback speed, or moving the x-axis of the device to see the next image in a slideshow.
