Oracle Linux kernel engineer Calum Mackay provides some insight into the new features for NFS in release 6 of the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK). UEK R6 is based on the upstream long-term stable Linux kernel v5.4, and introduces many new features compared to the previous version UEK R5, which is based on the upstream stable Linux kernel v4.14. In this blog, we look at what has been improved in the UEK R6 NFS client & server implementations. Server-side Copy (NFSv4.2...

If you like learning something new using a step-by-step process, try the Tutorials on the Oracle Linux 8 documentation library. You will find tutorials about installing system services and system configuration using Cockpit and on the command line. These Tutorials provide you with quick procedural instructions to get you started with technologies available in Oracle Linux 8. The Tutorials are tested on Oracle Linux 8 systems but can be used as guidelines for equivalent steps...

Oracle Linux kernel developer Daniel Jordan contributes this post on enhancing the performance of padata. padata is a generic framework for parallel jobs in the kernel -- with a twist. It not only schedules jobs on multiple CPUs but also ensures that each job is properly serialized, i.e. finishes in the order it was submitted. This post will provide some background on this somewhat obscure feature of the core kernel and cover recent efforts to enhance its parallel performance...
