ZFS-FUSE Description

A port of the ZFS file system from Sun, the most advanced file system in the world! ZFS is the most advanced file system ever invented. The ZFS-FUSE project makes it possible to create, mount, use and manage ZFS file systems under Linux, bringing the uncontested reliability and large feature set of ZFS to the Linux world.What ZFS offers to youZFS has many features for all kinds of users - from the simple end-user to the biggest enterprise systems:* Provable integrity - it checksums all data (and meta-data), which makes it possible to detect hardware errors (hard disk corruption, flaky IDE cables..). Read how ZFS helped to detect a faulty power supply after only two hours of usage, which was previously silently corrupting data for almost a year!* Atomic updates - means that the on-disk state is consistent at all times, there's no need to perform a lengthy filesystem check after forced reboots/power failures.* Instantaneous snapshots and clones - it makes it possible to have hourly, daily and weekly backups efficiently, as well as experiment with new system configurations without any risks.* Built-in (optional) compression* High scalability* Pooled storage model - creating filesystems is as easy as creating a new directory. You can efficiently have thousands of filesystems, each with it's own quotas and reservations, and different properties (compression algorithm, checksum algorithm, etc..).* Built-in stripes (RAID-0), mirrors (RAID-1) and RAID-Z (it's like software RAID-5, but more efficient due to ZFS's copy-on-write transactional model).* Among others (variable sector sizes, adaptive endianness, ...) Requirements: · Filesystem in Userspace What's New in This Release: Updates: · Updated ZFS code to pool version 16 (OpenGrok repository 2009-06-03) · Upgraded to FUSE API version 26. Enhancements: · Display more informative error messages when the FUSE module is not loaded or when zdb is used while zfs-fuse is not running. · Included several command-line tunables. These let you control caching and mount opts. · We ship initscripts now. These are configurable. · Included distribution source maker. Bug fixes: · Fixed regression where ZFS pools would disappear when rebooting or restarting zfs-fuse. · Fixed compilation error when compiling under Fedora 9 (reported by Uwe Kubosch). · Fixed minor possibility of write reordering happen during txg sync on SCSI devices. · Fixed compilation problem under openSUSE 11.0 (Andy Yelland). · Fixed umount datasets with spaces problem. · Fixed disappearing datasets bug. · Conformance with POSIX according to the NTFS-3G tests. · Reduced memory consumption.
