Importing chewiefs

2011-11-23 Thread Adam Hoka
Hi! If no one argues otherwise, I would like to import chewiefs to the NetBSD tree. The import would have minimal impact on existing code, but would allow for broader testing of the code and a step towards a more embedded ready NetBSD. Cheers.

I'm thinking of shortening it to CHFS, and we could say it stands for chip file system if someone asks. FWIW, a very brief google for `CHFS filesystem` indicates no direct hits - only matches for chfs(1), pretty much.

. Appending will be working on it, but if you truncate it longer before remounting, the file will be filled by the original data instead of zeros. I didn't find how i can drop the dirty page_cache if the FS doesn't need it anymore. But, how Adam said, the ChewieFS isn't designed for SSD. Tamas Toth

Hi, We would like to introduce a new flash filesystem for NetBSD-current (5.99.56) called ChewieFS. More information and the source is available here: http://chewiefs.sed.hu/ It's already usable, but there are some bugs yet. We're trying to fix them as soon as possible

It's not for SSD, but for raw flash device often found in embedded systems, like ARM, MIPS.
