Linux Plumbers Conf 2013

One Line Summary

Abstract

Persistent memory devices present a directly addressable non-volatile storage medium. Should we create a new file system to address this type of storage, modify existing ones, or maybe just treat them as block storage? The aim of this talk is to present an overview of the available hardware and its characteristics to fuel a discussion on what approach to take with file system implementation.
