| |
I am rewriting he wrapfs from the fist project and is now in a debugging stage, it is now quite ready for experimental tests.
The idea is orinigally from FiST, a stackable file system. But the FiST owner Erez seems given up to maintain the project. At the time I receive the code, it is so buggy, even unusable, lots of segmentation fault problems. I have debugging the fs for quite a while. Now it is useful in just use as a file system wrapper. It is useful in chroot environments and hardlinks aren't available. It wraps a directory and mount to another directory on tops of any filesystems. I wish to maintain this file system development since FiST's idea is good. It allow to use this base wrapfs as a template and then you can do encryption and other operations on it with fast development time. If any kernel file system maintainer is interested, please contact me .. I would like to get help to finish up my debugging work. The result will be GPL'ed. I will also package it with the fistgen package as a file system development tool. Thanks.
regards.
