| |
I had an idea for a filesystem as an alternative to using a raw disk partition for storing a single (large) data file (eg. a DVD image or a database data file), adding the convenience of a file length, permissions and a uid/gid.
As I now have some functional code (a 'compile outside the kernel' module, only tested against i386/2.6.9) I thought I'd share the sffs (single file file-system) code for comments/testing.
Performance for a single file is between 0 and 40% faster than ext2, (though sffs is not a general purpose filesystem).
Some more details/benchmarks: http://www.arkady.demon.co.uk/sffs the code can be downloaded from: http://www.arkady.demon.co.uk/sffs/sffs-latest.tar.gz (13.5k)
Regards,
Bernard
