Hi John, 

Why not use something like git ? Can you also be more clear about the 
requirements .. like do you want some command for the FS to mark new revisions 
( and hence why not use something like git ) or is there some other way you 
want the revisions tracked ? 

It might be helpful if you can write some high level specs of what you want, 
the behaviour of the feature etc. Maybe there are others on the community who 
might have use for something similar and might want to contribute too. 

Regards, 
Tejas.

Hi Tejas, 


Thanks for your reply. 


Is there a quick way to bring the trash feature back? How much effort will that 
take? And for the trash implementation, is this just simply mark the file as 
deleted but still keep the data so people can recover the "deleted" file easily 
by undelete it until some one actually clean the trash or compact the database? 


rm alias will be hard to maintain on the client side so something embedded into 
the file system will be more preferable. 


Ideally the system can keep revisions of the files too. Will gluster provide 
this feature or are you aware of any system provide embedded revision control? 


Thanks a lot in advance for my amateur questions.

Hi John, 

We don't have such a feature. Would you like to elaborate if you need this just 
as an alternative to aliasing rm on the shell or do you want to put this to use 
in some different scenerio - like a trash folder. 

We do have some trash folder functionality, but its old and not supported right 
now as not many found a good use for it since.

Tejas.

Hi list, 

Is there any feature in the file system which can help to prevent from file 
deletion by accident? 

Thanks.
