Picked back up the work for VFS {g,u}id squashing. IOW, mapping all {g,u}ids down to a single {g,u}id. Any process that doesn't have that {g,u}id but is still privileged otherwise will write to disk as the squashed {g,u}id. I just finished a draft and selftests that miraculously work.

Probably "bugs galore" at this point. Needs more thinking.
Яблочный SMB. Или как подружить Samba с iOS
Настраиваю домашний NAS на Ubuntu, сталкиваюсь с проблемами доступа через SMB на iOS, ищу решения и делюсь опытом. Рассказываю, как правильно настроить Samba, исправить несовместимости с Apple-устройствами с помощью VFS-модуля Fruit и избежать распространённых ошибок. В статье есть готовые конфиги, команды для настройки и ссылки на полезную документацию. Если вы тоже запускаете NAS и хотите минимизировать головную боль с правами доступа и совместимостью, этот материал для вас!

What I'd love to see in the #Linux desktop for 2025: proper #VFS (Virtual File System) and Cloud Files API support[1]. May it be a suitable project for initiatives like #Outreachy or #GNOME STF? I'd love to work on such project myself if I had the proper knowledge...
I've written a post that shows how to list all mounts in all mount namespaces (all mounts on the system) using new apis we added to the #vfs this year.
Here’s preop*, vs a few months postop, vs basically now (always untrained, speaking naturally)
* ew this is not pleasant to listen to, also wow I sound dead inside
Turns out my voice kept going up after I stopped recording myself periodically, I’m breaking 200 even while sick!
I should make a before and after thing

Re: vfs.read_max=0
Amongst the comments in Discord:
「it looks like that sysctl is defined in kern/vfs_cluster.c, and is used only in the cluster_read function. cluster_read is called by code in the ffs, ext2fs, udf, cd9660, msdosfs, and fuse subdirectories, but I don't see any hits in the zfs source. So I don't think it applies to zfs.
probably because zfs doesn't use the regular buffer cache, and has its own readahead code that prefetches into the arc」
