| Summary : A port of ZFS to the FUSE framework for the Linux operating system
|
Description :
This project is a port of the ZFS filesystem to FUSE/Linux, done as part of the
Google Summer of Code 2006 initiative.
ZFS has many features which can benefit all kinds of users - from the simple
end-user to the biggest enterprise systems. ZFS list of features:
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
Highly scalable
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, ...)
