The documentation is not (as of this writing) fully complete, but
there is some documentation here:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/next3/index.php?title=Code_documentation
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/next3/index.php?title=On-disk_format
http://sourceforge.net/projects/next3/files/Next3_Snapshots.pdf/download

... which will hopefully be updated soon to be fully up to date with
these assignments and more details about how things work.

For now, the assignments should avoid collisions with other new work
that people might want to do on ext3/4.

Thanks, this is great news :-)

I've updated this page to the finalized format:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/next3/index.php?title=On-disk_format

I've also added this page to reflect some of your suggestions to the API:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/next3/index.php?title=User-kernel_API

I'll send you the patches when I finish the migration.

Amir.

Hi Ted,

The patch series is ready for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/next3/files/Latest%20patch%20series/e2fsprogs-git-next3-1.0.11_patches.tar.gz/download
(it applies against the master branch)

Next3 version 1.0.11 automatically migrate old on-disk format on mount
and on fsck.
1.0.11 has passed the sanity tests and migration tests, but is still
under regression testing.

CTERA has announced Next3 on Tuesday, see my blog post at:
http://blog.ctera.com/2010/06/story-of-next3-and-thin-provisioned.html

I wanted to thank you for helping me finalize the on-disk format in
time for the announcement
and I hope you will get around to reviewing the patches soon.

Let me know if you want me to post the patches by email or if you want
me to merge them with a difference branch.

Cheers,
Amir.
