Hello,
For past two months, I have been working on developing a
log-structured file system (LFS) that supports snapshots as a part of
the Google Summer of Code (SoC) [1] program. The motivation and goals
for the project are described in my SoC proposal [2].
In the current state, LFS is quite usable (all the basic fs
operations are working), and a working cleaner is also available.
However, it's not yet ready for the heavy iron and I need to sort out a
few issues. I hope to include it in the mainline, and I will release a
set of patches later for reviewing.
Instructions on compiling and using the stable and development
versions from CVS are available at [3]. The bleeding edge version
includes basic snapshotting framework.
The project website is http://logfs.sourceforge.net, and a mailing
list [4] is available for discussion.
Comments are welcome.
Thanks,
