Episode 54 of The Linux Podcast with Fexingo dives into the quiet but dramatic evolution happening in Linux network filesystems. Lucas and Luna explore why NFS, SMB, and even newer protocols like CephFS are being re-engineered for modern workloads — from AI training clusters to remote desktop rendering. The episode centers on the Linux 6.5 kernel's NFS v4.2 multi-queue improvements, which boosted throughput by over 60 percent in some cloud storage benchmarks. They also discuss how Samba's new io_uring integration cuts latency for Windows file sharing on Linux servers, and what it means for the rise of disaggregated storage. A concrete look at how the performance bottleneck in network filesystems has shifted from the network to the protocol stack itself — and what kernel developers are doing about it.
