File and Storage Systems track

Thursday, October 16, 2014 from 1:30 – 4:30pm
Room 27
 

The Linux Plumbers 2014 File and Storage Track will be focused on current challenges in the IO stack and ongoing work. This will be structured like the Linux File, Storage and Memory management event – individual topics will be discussed with an appointed topic lead, but presentations are actively discouraged. A few slides can be used to help frame the discussion.

Unlike the LSF/MM event, our plumbers track is going to be especially interested in pulling in people from the many communities that work in this space – not just kernel developers. Good examples of past topics include management of file and storage systems, dealing with new technologies like persistent memory at the various levels of the stack and how we interact with things like cloud storage or big data needs.
