1) Block cloning support for allowing files or portions of files to be used for reflinks / file-level copy-on-write handling
2) Linux container support with various Linux-specific container interfaces now supported, support for OverlayFS, IDMAPPED mounts in a user name-space, and other features.
3) BLAKE3 check-summing that is much faster than SHA-256 and SHA-512.
4) Corrective “zfs receive” for healing corrupted data in file-systems

Today is 9th October and yet the October’s ISO is not yet available in the main site because the developer is busy.
So instead of waiting for the new release we can build an ISO using the archiso utility.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/archiso
- sudo pacman -Sy –needed archiso git
- cd $(mktemp -d)
- cp -r /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng/ archlive
- sudo mkarchiso -v archlive
Things are back to normal, and we have a networking pull this week. And probably because of the missed week, networking shows up quite clearly in the diffstat, although honestly, that’s probably also because everything else has been pretty quiet. We’ve got other misc driver fixes, of course, and a few filesystem fixes. But network drivers, core networking, and some network-related selftests do account for probably about half of the patch this week. Apart from that, nothing in here looks particularly odd, Linus
