I've had a modification to FFS called IFS (inode filesystem) in the works for a while, and I think its time for people to look at it. In a nutshell, it removes the directory namespace from FFS and presents a flat inode numbered namespace to applications. It was originally written for squid and inn type applications, but a few people have suggested other applications such as CODA/AFS stores/caches, and temp filesystems. The latest coderun is about 3 weeks old, and I haven't had time lately to keep it up to date with -current. However right now I'm after some comments. The only things this code is lacking is support for NFS cookies, and softupdates. I don't think either are very important right now, but if someone wants to prove me wrong, go ahead. :-) The code is located at : http://www.freebsd.org/~adrian/ifs/ Enjoy :) Adrian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
