Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Urmas Rist <[email protected]>

* Package name : saunafs
Version : 4.4.0
Upstream Contact: Name <[email protected]>
* URL : https://github.com/leil-io/saunafs
* License : GPL
Programming Lang: C, C++
Description : SaunaFS is a distributed, FUSE filesystem that is focused
on reliability and data integrity.
Some of the features include:
* Erasure-coding (EC) for files.
* Real-time journaling for recovery of metadata and auditing.
* Copy-on write snapshots of files.
* Extra protection when reading/writing data through CRC.
* High-availability and optional automatic failover to one or more shadow
master servers.
Disclaimer: I am the upstream maintainer and employed to work on it. My
employer was asked by some in the Debian Medical mailing list
(https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2024/07/msg00030.html) to help package
this for Debian. While the company declined (since we don't have the manpower
for it), I decided I would do help out in my personal free time and capacity.
SaunaFS was forked from LizardFS (which was originally forked from MooseFS) a
year and half ago, when development completely stopped (in reality, development
was already slow to non-existant years prior, or it was closed-source). The
developers (most of who worked on LizardFS during the last days of it, and some
who worked in the very first days) are employed by the company Leil Storage,
which is selling storage hyperscaler solutions. Since forking from LizardFS,
there have been many fixes and features added to SaunaFS, and is currently more
maintained than LizardFS was in the last 4 years. However, it doesn't support
upgrading from LizardFS to SaunaFS directly currently (there are plans to add
some level of support for migrating from LizardFS, like metadata conversion).
It is similar to MooseFS (they share a lot of the codebase from MooseFS 1.6),
however it has a few key advanatages in terms of culture:
1. Many developers have worked on it over the years (from LizardFS to SaunaFS),
and has such the code is much more maintainable than MooseFS, which only one
developer has worked on.
2. All of the tests (around 200-300) for SaunaFS/LizardFS is open source,
whereas MooseFS has four tests and unknown (if any) tests that are
closed-sourced, making working on the code difficult in a open-source
environment.
3. Combined with the above factors, any fork of MooseFS would be difficult.
4. Many features (e.g EC) and new releases of MooseFS are only offered under
proprietary licenses. SaunaFS meanwhile releases frequently (generally around
once a month) completely free and open source, with some proprietary plugins
for things like SMR drives outside the project.
5. MooseFS project health is also concerning, given that only one developer
works on it and if he stops working, other developers would have a difficult
time working on it.
Thus, SaunaFS could be viewed as a more open-source and free alternative to
MooseFS that is being actively maintained and will continue to be for the
likely forseeable future.
I would start packaging by reviewing the previous LizardFS packages. Some
things are likely not relevant anymore. For example, renaming the binaries to
not conflict with MooseFS (this was done upstream). I plan to spend about 16
hours per month helping maintain this package. No plans are currently do it in
a packaging under a team, however Debian med could be a candidate since this
ITP was asked on there. I'm also looking for a sponsor.
This package would probably split up into their own sub packages (e.g
saunafs-master, saunafs-chunkserver) similar to MooseFS/LizardFS.
