Stable Version 1.1004 (October 4, 2007)
Changelog:
- Fix: unwritten sparse file regions could get corrupted if the end of a write wasn’t aligned to cluster boundary. Sparse files are very rarely used, most typically by bittorent clients.
- Fix: creation of read-only files failed.
- Change: free inode calculation was CPU intensive during write activity. This could reduce write performance when millions of files are used if a file manager or desktop applet regularly polled for disk space usage. Now the statfs() system call is constant time.
- Change: file creation performance is improved by 40-80%.
- Change: smart directory traversal is 20-200% faster for disk based and 300-600% faster for memory cache based traversals.
