XFS project progress

Hi, I am going to make a short summary of the XFS project work since last post.

Anyway, you can find my post named ‘GSoC 2021 Project: XFS support progress’ on the forum. It records part of the work. Of course, the most is on Gerrit. topic:“xfs” on Gerrit

We could find all remaining patches are merged. But, by the way, not all problems. There is a problem leaving. To be honest, I just learned how to use GDB under linux to debug today… I lack big project experience before so it is also new skills for me. Now I need to fix it soon and then move to next step quickly, if there is no other changes, it will be attributes read support. So it is also why I choose to write summary at this time. I need to continue my attempt afterwards.

About me

I am Xiaojie Yi, currently majoring in Data Science and Big Data technology in Central China Normal University, China. I am happy to be selected as GSoC student this year and can work for Haiku to get more XFS filesystem support done. My mentors are CruxBox and Rene.

When I decided to choose this project at the end of March, I knew very little about how everything works. Thanks for everyone’s help here! And I have finally got some basic things about git, gerrit, os, and filesystems(especially xfs). I will do more this summer and it would be challenging but enjoyable to learn new knowledge.
