Hi,
Sorry for taking 5 days to respond :/
Since there's already a BFS FUSE implementation on Linux, I'm spending
time with the Haiku filesystem API instead. I have UserlandFS up and
running. I wrote a tiny add-on that merely logs things to a plain text
file.
I've also been reading about ZFS. Specifically, a set of ZFS
slides[1], the ZFS source code tour[2], the ZFS porting guide[3] and a
paper on how ZFS was ported to FreeBSD[4]. I'm also trying to get
familiar with the ZFS sources. I now have a rough idea of what porting
ZFS will entail. I might have an initial proposal ready by tomorrow.
Also, as a pre-GSoC thing, I want to write a file system that mounts
ZIP files. I have some rudimentary code ready. I have a question,
though: does an add-on like this already exist?
And finally, I've been wondering: if my project is picked, who will be
the mentor? Ingo?
Thanks!
