Parallel Optimized Host Message Exchange Layered File System
"I'm please to announce [the] POHMEL high performance network filesystem. POHMELFS stands for Parallel Optimized Host Message Exchange Layered File System," began Evgeniy Polyakov, explaining:
"This is a high performance network filesystem with local coherent cache of data and metadata. Its main goal is distributed parallel processing of data. Network filesystem is a client transport. POHMELFS protocol was proven to be superior to NFS in lots (if not all, then it is in a roadmap) operations."

Asynchronous Event Notification Infrastructure
Jeff Garzik posted a two patch series introducing an asynchronous event notification infrastructure, "enabling SATA Asynchronous Notification ('AN') for CD/DVD devices that support it." He summarized:
"For devices that support SATA AN (only very recent ones do), this means that HAL and other userspace utilities no longer need to repeatedly poll the CD/DVD device to determine if the user has changed the media."
