release : 1.2.6 2014-03-26
: Revert the zero filled block recognition since it caused data
: corruption. This was a real bad bug.
release : 1.2.5 2014-03-09
: Fix exceeding max segment size of underlying blockdevice up-on
: data migration
release : 1.2.4 2014-02-15
: Enable compilation on SleS11 and CentOS kernels
release : 1.2.3 2014-02-09
: Fix the use of a wrong pointer which could lead to data corruption
: This is a regression of the zero filled block recognition
release : 1.2.2 2014-02-08
: Added zero filled block recognition and skip writing them when
: possible. btier will return a block without meta data as zero
: filled by default.
release : 1.2.1 2014-01-30
: Reenable vfs for blockdevices. Due to this bug
: bio was always selected.
release : 1.2.0 2014-01-29
: Make it possible to use bio with real devices instead
: of vfs. See btier_setup.1
release : 1.1.3 2014-01-11
: Inspected the btier code with Coverity and solved the
: bugs it reported that where not false positives.
release : 1.1 2013-10-12
: Enabling or disabling writethrough is now persistently stored.
: Solved a problem that could cause data corruption.
: Discard can now be enabled /disabled via sysfs
: Discard to underlying devices can now be enabled / disabled
: via sysfs
release : 1.0.2 2013-06-08
: Added support for write-through VFS cache.
: btier_setup -s enables this new sync/writethrough capability.
: Solved a potential data corruption problem with aio_read.
release : 1.0.1 2013-05-28
: Added a uuid for btier devices available under
: /sys/block/sdtierX/tier/uuid
release : 1.0.0 2013-05-26
: Added a data migration tool that was contributed
: by : Stephan Budach. Changed the version number to 1.0.0
release : 0.9.9.9-8 2013-04-14
: Added a new tool to allow easy metadata backup and restore
: Solved a bug that caused btier to crash up-on recovery
: when a rollback of pending migration was necessary.
release : 0.9.9.9-7 2013-03-31
: Userspace programs can now retrieve information in paged
: mode. Paged mode allows to retrieve information in batches
: of 20 blocks at a time.
release : 0.9.9.9-6 2013-03-31
: Check if a device is still mounted when deregister is called
: Fix a problem with migration that was introduced with 0.9.9.9-5
release : 0.9.9.9-5 2013-03-17
: Implemented a userspace API via sysfs that allows
: userspace programs to retrieve block metadata
: and control data migration.
: tools/show_block_details.py and tools/show_block_details.sh
: are examples of how this interface can be used.
: TODO: Documentation of this API.
release : 0.9.9.9-4 2013-03-17
: Improved some logging routines
: Code cleaning
release : 0.9.9.9-3 2013-03-16
: Solves a nasty bug that can cause loss of data when
: btier is used with SSD's and a recent kernel that
: supports discard / trim. Upgrading is highly recommended
: for users with SSD's.
release : 0.9.9.9-1 2013-03-06
: Excuses for the version numbering but we are not quite
: at 1.0, although we are getting close.
: Random read performance is now 4* higher.
: This was achieved by using a threaded worker pool
: for random reads. (aio).
: Migration policies are now stored on disk and not lost
: after unloading the device.
release : 0.9.9.9 2013-02-27
: Many small bug fixes and code (style) changes
: The kernel module can now be build in-tree as well.
release : 0.9.9.7 2013-02-12
: btier now disables readahead on the fly when it
: detects random io.
release : 0.9.9.4 2013-02-02
: The control device tiercontrol was
: registered with the full pathname.
: This caused slackware to show the device as
: /dev/dev/tiercontrol instead of /dev/tiercontrol
release : 0.9.9.3 2013-01-28
: No longer panic on fatal errors
: return -EIO instead
release : 0.9.9.2 2013-01-23
: Improved locking on migration
release : 0.9.9 2013-01-23
: Solves a bug that can lead to the tier device running
: out of space when there still is space available.
: tier has been renamed to btier so that google returns
: usable results.
: Code has been reviewed for stability and now passes
: long running tests.
release : 0.5.5 2013-01-12

: Partially implements expansion of underlying disks.
release : 0.3.2 2012-11-29
: This release changes the devicename from /dev/tierX

: filters out the old name and is therefore not usable
: with tier.
release : 0.3.1 2012-10-03
: Migration engine has been improved.
: Sysfs interface for device_usage and migration_policy
: are now more polished. Devicesize change is now
: detected. Implementation of automatic resizing is
: still something todo.

: echo 1 >/sys/block/tiera/tier/disable_migration
release : 0.2.2 2012-07-08
: Adds an overview of the amount of space used per tier device
: cat /sys/block/tiera/tier/device_usage
: TIER DEVICE SIZE MB ALLOCATED MB
