Jens Axboe On Kernel Development 68
BlockHead writes "Kerneltrap.org is running an interview with Jens Axboe, 15 year Linux veteran and the maintainer of the linux kernel block layer, 'the piece of software that sits between the block device drivers (managing your hard drives, cdroms, etc) and the file systems.' The interview examines what's involved in maintaining this complex portion of the Linux kernel, and offers an accessible explanation of how IO schedulers work. Jens details his own CFQ, or Complete Fair Queue scheduler which is the default Linux IO scheduler. Finally, the article examines the current state of Linux kernel development, how it's changed over the years, and what's in store for the future."

In the interview he says he is now 30 years old. Wow that means he started working in Linux at the age of 15 - a real prodigy. A very interesting interview.
Btw, it is nice that kerneltrap.org has finally had a make over. The earlier website design looked rather drab.
