OpenZFS Is Still Battling A Data Corruption Issue
Last week OpenZFS 2.2.1 was released with a reported fix for a data corruption issue that was initially blamed as being a block cloning bug for a new feature introduced in the v2.2 release. Well, it turns out that the block cloning feature isn’t the root cause and that v2.2.1 is still prone to data corruption and pre-v2.2 releases are also vulnerable to this file-system data corruption issue…

[$] A discussion on kernel-maintainer pain points
A regular feature of the Kernel Maintainers Summit is a session where Linus
Torvalds discusses the problems that he has been encountering. In recent
years, though, there have been relatively few of those problems, so this
year he turned things around a bit by asking
the community what problems it was seeing instead. He then addressed
them at the Summit in a session covering aspects of the development
community, including feedback to maintainers, diversity (or the
lack thereof), and more.

Pipewire 1.0 released
PipeWire, the audio/video bus meant to
replace PulseAudio, JACK, and other systems, has reached
1.0. In celebration, Fedora Magazine is running an
interview with PipeWire creator Wim Taymans.
PipeWire is an IPC mechanism for multimedia. The most interesting
stuff will happen in the session manager, the modules, the
applications and the tools around all this. I hope to see more cool
tools to route video and set up video filters etc.

“The diffstat here is dominated by a couple of reverts of some Realtek
phy code (accounting for almost a third of the diff).
But ignoring that, it’s mostly fairly small, and all over the place.“
