Excellent talk, thanks. The 84-minute length is a bit intimidating :-) so in case it's of interest to anybody here's a breakdown of major events. I tried to keep it somewhat high-level and all times are approximate. If you just want to see the demo watch about 15 minutes from 60:00. Intro 1:00 - Amit takes the mic Background 4:45 - Then & now comparison of 1971 Unix vs 2007 Mac OS X 5:40 - Walk through the history of OSes and filesystem implementations 11:00 - Comparison of fs complexity by lines of kernel code 11:50 - Userspace filesystems in OSX: FTP, WebDAV ... Fuse 17:10 - Other stuff did this too, not really a new idea 18:15 - Why Fuse? History of Fuse, sshfs, blessed by Linux 20:40 - List of Fuse filesystems Amit gets coding 21:10 - MacFuse project history - way back to Amit's first use of a Mac 22:30 - Amit wants to write procfs without doing much programming 24:00 - First attempt at a traditional fs was a horrible, horrible failure 26:00 - Later on, makes the decision to do Fuse with 20% time 27:25 - Goals for MacFuse 33:30 - Block diagram of pieces 39:00 - First fs mounted through prototype MacFuse 40:50 - History of MacFuse via LOC Why and how 43:10 - Writing filesystems impulsively, and why 46:30 - Challenges specific to doing Fuse on MacOS 59:30 - Demo: procfs 67:00 - Demo: DocsFS, PicasaFS, SpotlightFS 75:20 - Q&A --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "macfuse-devel" group.
