    - Summary:

    + Summary: + +

    The project schedule was a bit changed in the start, because + there were some rewriting of some internal parts of + gvinum. Much of the time went to adapt the rest of gvinum to + this new event-based system. This rewrite made gvinum less + vulnerable to race bugs, and made it much easier for a + developer to reason about the code.

    + +

    Improvements were made to the rebuild and syncing process of + volumes, so that one could still use the volume (e.g. have it + mounted) while rebuilding or syncing gvinum plexes.

    + +

    The growing of striped volumes (includes RAID-5) in the + background was also implemented. Perhaps most important, is + that most important gvinum features were implemented, and many + bugs were fixed. A lot of testing has been done to make gvinum + more robust.
