As I'm sure everyone is probably aware, gmane is no longer up and running. Here is an LWN article on what happened:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lwn.net_Articles_695695_&d=CwIBAg&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=sDzg6MvHymKOUgI8SFIm4Q&m=HxKsABovpYsmuFZJcxP5E3peSnE1-ZWToHxfEvkvipQ&s=_pCfAeX7nNLc8kJxcxSYalTDjm-ckJI_LyhNSoqECgw&e=

I was looking for a patch that was posted to fstests via the web today, and unfortunately gmane is the only archive listed here:

http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#fstests

Are there plans to have the archive hosted elsewhere?

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/fstests/list/

Thanks,

Josef

It eventually got picked up by marc.info - I sent them an archive request when the list was first created in May 2015, and like all other archive sites I got zero response back. Almost 5 months later, the list started being archived by marc.info:

http://marc.info/?l=fstests&r=1&w=2

So it's there and active(*), but it doesn't have the first 5 months of list traffic.

/me can't read dates - the list was created in May *2014*, so the first 17 months of traffic are missing.

I do have a local archive of almost all the traffic (except for a few patches I fat fingered (copy, don't save to a separate mbox file) when pulling them off the list), so itmiht be worth seeing if if we can get it backfilled.....

Cheers,

Dave.
