We would like to propose a new Open Solaris project called "Ext3 filesystem" providing ext3 filesystem interoperability capabilities for OpenSolaris.
The ext3 filesystem (or Third Extended Filesystem) is the standard filesystem for GNU/Linux and has been ported to other operating systems. It is a journaling filesystem and is an extension of the ext2 filesystem. We intend to approach the project in two phases: 1) Implement ext2 based on public documentation of ext2. This will allow us to release the filesystem under the CDDL license. 2) Implement ext3 based on the earlier implementation of ext2. We will add journaling at this time. The proposed leaders are: Jan Senolt Milan Jurik Tom Haynes Jan will be the leader of the first phase of the project and Tom will lead the initiative for the second phase of the project. The project will be associated with the Storage Community. _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
