Darrick Wong has been doing work on XFS online
repair for a number of years
and things are getting to the point where most of the filesystem-internal work
has been completed and is under review. The work remaining mostly concerns
the user-space side
to set up a periodic scan and repair cycle, so he wanted to discuss what
user space needs from this kind of feature in a filesystem session at the
2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management and BPF Summit that he led remotely. The session may
not have gone quite as he hoped, as it got somewhat derailed by topics that
spilled over from the earlier session on
unprivileged image mounts.
