Chunkfs, a recovery-driven file system design approach

Category: By AG
Its blossoming and slowly starting to take shape as a form of numerous hacks in the actual ext2 driver code, but still a looong way to go.

Chunkfs is an application of file system design approach for easy and fast recovery of file system after system crash and is going to be my thesis topic. A preliminary paper, entitled "Chunkfs: Using Divide-and-Conquer to Improve File System Reliability and Repair", accepted at Usenix HotDep 2006 can be found here (once its ready to go public).

Git repository for the prototype implementation in FUSE (File System in Userspace) is at: git://cislinux.cis.ksu.edu/fuse-chunkfs. It requires libext2 and libfuse.

The tools for the same (fsck and mkfs - both unstable) can be found at: git://cislinux.cis.ksu.edu/chunkfs-tools
