Milestone 3 Released and Optional Extra Credit Milestone
Written on 04.06.2026 23:06 by Antoine Kaufmann
We have now released milestone 3: https://cms.sic.saarland/os_26/5/Course_Project and your milestone 3 repositories should also be created now.
Based on feedback about time spent on the project, we have decided to adjust the plan for the second half: we have removed milestone 4 and extended the time for milestone 3. Milestone 3 carries 2x the weight of the earlier milestones. (total score = (ms1 + ms2 + 2 * ms3) / 4)
What we planned as milestone 4, on file systems, is now an optional extra credit milestone available on request (email Antoine). This milestone is not necessary for achieving the full grade, and will be worth 20% extra points. Please carefully consider if you are sufficiently caught up on all material and exam prep before deciding to attempt this. Note that ms4 is at least as much work as ms3.
We hope that this will help everyone get more out of this course!
