Samsung 860/870 SSDs Continue Causing Problems For Linux Users.Last year, Paragon Software made an amazing decision: try to Mainline the NTFS3 driver that was previously only used for business.Ĭonsidering that there are fewer and fewer organizations interested in NTFS, and more and more interest in Microsoft ‘s exFAT, and even in file systems like Android’s F2FS, we are still very happy to see that Paragon is finally willing to drive Mainline and promised Maintain it upstream and move on. In the upcoming Linux Kernel 5.15 update, the NTFS3 kernel driver from Paragon Software will provide better support for the Microsoft NFTS file system. Linux Kernel 5.15 will integrate NTFS3 driver to better support NTFS file system.Linux engineers stated meanwhile that they were looking into the problem and while it took a while, earlier today, it was announced that patches for the issue have been sent upstream for final implementation.Īccording to the findings, it has been determined that Queued Trim commands on the 860 and 870 SSDs are causing such issues on Intel, ASmedia, and Marvell SATA AHCI controllers and the problem has been found to be the worst on older AMD systems. Later it was also established that the same or very similar problem also existed on the 870 EVO model. Linux patch disables TRIM and NCQ on Samsung 860/870 SSDs in Intel and AMD systems – NeowinĪbout two years ago, several users of the Samsung 860 EVO SATA SSD started reporting issues on their drives in Linux.Linus Torvalds Jokes About Celebrations for Linux’s 30th Anniversaryĭespite Linux reaching its 30th anniversary, “most outside the tech industry will be unaware that Linux has reached such a milestone,” writes ZDNet, “even though the project has had a huge impact on everything from smartphones to cloud computing.”.Earlier this year, Tachyum announced the delivery of its first FPGA-based Prodigy system emulator – and now, around three months on, it has laid claim to a successful first run of a Linux operating system and a simple user-mode application. In the years since its unveiling, Tachyum’s claims haven’t wavered – but they also haven’t yet been proven, something which didn’t stop the company joining an EU project to build an exascale supercomputer. Tachyum has announced a milestone on the road to finally launching its much-vaunted high-performance “universal processor,” Prodigy, with a first-boot into Linux – but its FPGA prototype is still a long way away from proving the company’s bold claims.įounded in 2017 by a team made up of Skyera and SandForce co-founder Dr Radoslav “Rado” Danilak, Wave Computing co-founder Ken Wagner, engineer Igor Shevlyakov, and hardware architect Rod Mullendore, Tachyum is in the process of designing what it calls a “universal processor.’ Dubbed Prodigy, the design – originally known as the “Cloud Chip” – is claimed to be able to run programs written for x86, Arm, and RISC-V architectures as well as its own native architecture, and to do so 10 times faster than its rivals. Tachyum’s Prodigy emulator achieves first boot, runs Linux and says ‘hello, world’.However, he doesn’t have much time to devote to it these days with everything else on his Linux I/O plate while also being employed by Facebook. Linux Has A New Maintainer For Its CD-ROM Driver CodeĪfter more than two decades of maintaining the Linux CD-ROM driver code, Jens Axboe who also serves as the block subsystem maintainer, IO_uring lead developer, and filling other roles, announced he was looking for someone to take over the CD-ROM code.Īxboe had been maintaining the Linux kernel’s CD-ROM driver code since the late 90′s as part of his early involvement in the Linux kernel.
