Kernel 3.2 available with interesting news

As usual Linus Torvalds ad that the Kernel version 3.2, which includes interesting news, which We can see here in English.

In summary, this is what we can find:

  • Ext4 supports block sizes larger than 4KB and to 1MB which improves performance with large files.
  • Btrfs performs the process of scrubbing (check all the filesystem checksums) faster, automatically backs up critical metadata, and is now able to manually inspect the file system.
  • The process manager has added support for setting maximum CPU time limits.
  • Desktop responsiveness has improved in the presence of heavy disk writes.
  • TCP It has been updated to include an algorithm that speeds up connection recovery after packet loss.
  • The analysis tool "Perf top" has added support for live inspection of processes and libraries.
  • The device mapper has added support for Thin provisioning.
  • And many more news.

Excellent news that will be reflected in the performance of our computer. For my part, I hope that this version already has the solution for my problem with typography 🙁

      What energy problem are you referring to? I am interested in whether it is the one that occurs when disconnected from the power adapter

        It is the consumption problem that is noticeable because the battery lasts a% 30 less.

    Something that the official kernel lacks is that they add support for Graphic acceleration or I don't know if it comes with that integrated support, since I currently have an Intel GMA 4500M graphics card and I don't get graphic acceleration: S

      seriously???? I have the same Intel and with Chakra there have been no problems. I am surprised that you have problems with Ubuntu in that regard. I come from that distro and at least in that aspect I never fail, but hey, each machine is a world !!!

        I mean this http://goo.gl/VEYre http://goo.gl/Tj2YZ It is a bit awkward to use a system with a lack of support as it lags and bugs too much.
