“After more than three months development time and
10,600 changesets, over 1,100 developers from around 150
enterprises have come up with the latest Linux release. Some
changes bring new capabilities to the kernel that make it more
reliable and help users find errors. HP, for example, provides
block layer integrity checking that features checksumming of data
to protect against corruption. A number of high-end SCSI disks are
already providing for this kind of integrity checking in the
hardware.”
