Hi, I am a computer science student from Austria and I am looking for a topic for my masters thesis. I am very interested in log-structured file systems and I thought of doing a few things from the TODO list on the website: http://www.nilfs.org/en/current_status.html I am particularly interested in the "Online defrag" feature, but I haven't looked into the source code yet. I have a few questions concerning that and any help would be greatly appreciated:
1. Has someone already started working on it? 2. Is there some fundamental difficulty that makes it hard to implement for a log-structured fs? 3. How much work would it entail? Is it doable for one well versed C programmer in 2 to 3 months? best regards, Andreas Rohner -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nilfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
