GSoC 2013 - Extend UFS2 with on-disk indexing

[Lyu Mitnick]

Hello FreeBSDer,

I am Mitnick, a student who want to apply for GSoC 2013 and contribute
to FreeBSD.
I have take a look of the FreeBSD idea page. A project "Extend UFS2
with on-disk
indexing" attracted my attention. As far as I know is that the project
is an extension of
"Dynamic memory allocation for dirhash in UFS2". I am wondering to
know the project
status and the potential mentor of the project.

I have experience in C and have traced the source code of a file
system. However I
don't have any programming experience with UFS2. Any suggestion on what steps I
should take to start is welcome!!

Thanks very much.

Mitnick
