Open Source File Systems - Page 3

The OFF System for content storage and retrieval, lets you store all digital content and allows only the people authorized to use it to do so. It is the proof of concept for 'bright nets' and will allow anyone to securely share digital data legally.

LUFS is a hybrid userspace filesystem framework supporting many "exotic" filesystems (localfs, sshfs, ftpfs, gnutellafs, locasefs, gvfs, cardfs, cefs, etc. ).

Anime checker is a portable tool that verifies the integrity of your files. It calculates the CRC32 of your files and compares it with the one found in the filename. Useful with fansubbed animes.

This project aims to be an open-source driver for iRiver's great iFP flash portable player (www.iriver.com).

Tool to inspect the used space of folders. Files are displayed in a cushioned tree map. Useful if you wonder where all your free space went to.

FTimes is a forensic system baselining, searching, and evidence collection tool. Its primary purpose is to gather and/or develop topographical information and attributes about specified directories and files in a manner conducive to intrusion and forensic analysis.

Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool.

Filebench is a file system and storage benchmark that can generate both micro- and macro-workloads. It employs versatile Workload Model Language (WML) for detailed workload specification. Filebench includes several popular macro-workloads in its distribution: Web-server, Mail-server, Database-server, and others.

NFS-GANESHA is a NFS server running in User Space. It is available under the LGPLv3 license. See website (hosted by sourceforge): http://nfs-ganesha.sourceforge.net

MooseFS (MFS) is a fault tolerant, highly performing, scaling-out, network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS mounted with FUSE acts as other Unix-alike file systems: * A hierarchical structure (directory tree) * Stores POSIX file attributes (permissions, last access and modification times) Supports special files (block and character devices, pipes and sockets) * Symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not necessarily on MooseFS) and hard links (different names of files which refer to the same data on MooseFS) * Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address and/or password MooseFS on GitHub: https://github.com/moosefs/moosefs Packages repository, download: https://moosefs.com/download Documentation: https://moosefs.com/support Recent changes: https://github.com/moosefs/moosefs/blob/master/NEWS

The OpenSSI project is a comprehensive clustering solution offering a full, highly available SSI environment for Linux. Goals for OpenSSI Clusters include availability, scalability and manageability, built from standard servers.

myrescue is a program to rescue the still-readable data from a damaged harddisk. It is similiar in purpose to dd_rescue, but it tries to quickly get out of damaged areas to first handle the not yet damaged part of the disk and return later.

SD4L is a suite of Linux tools including a graphical user interface which allow the creation of, and access to ScramDisk as well as TrueCrypt encrypted container files. In particular, SD4L provides a Linux driver which enables mounting of containers.

Toolshed project has moved: https://github.com/nitros9project/toolshed ToolShed is a package of utilities to perform cross-development from Windows, Linux or Mac OS X computers to the Tandy Color Computer and Dragon microcomputers. Tools are included to read/write both OS-9 RBF disk images and CoCo Disk BASIC disk images, generate cassette WAV files and more.

ClusterNFS allows diskless clients to share a single root filesystem by matching "interpreted" file names of the form "/path/filename$$KEY=value$$" with fallback to the original filename. Keys include HOSTNAME, IP, UID, GID, and CLIENT (always matches

The Flexible Filesystem Benchmark (FFSB) is a cross-platform filesystem performance measurement tool. It uses customizable profiles to measure of different workloads, and it supports multiple groups of threads across multiple filesystems.

Python FAM provides a Python module to use the File Alteration Monitor (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam) in Python.

Policy engine and reporting tool for large file systems. It maintains a replicate of filesystem medatada in a database that can be queried at will. It makes it possible to schedule mass action on filesystem entries by defining attribute-based policies, provides fast 'find' and 'du' enhanced clones, gives to administrators an overall view of filesystem contents through its web UI and command line tools. It supports any POSIX filesystem and implements advanced features for Lustre filesystems (list/purge files per OST or pool, read MDT changelogs...)

kcd is a directory change utility similar to NCD. It helps you navigate the directory tree. You can also supply part of the desired directory name directly in the command line and let kcd find it for you.

xcruiser aims to provide 3D VR-like interface to UN*X filesystem. It displays directories as galaxies, files as planets (of various properties depending on its attributes) and symlinks as wormholes. You can fly through cyberspace created from these.

UFFS: Ultra-low-cost Flash File System, designed for NAND flash working in embedded system. UFFS typically consumes less then 200K ram for 1Gb(page 512)/4Gb(page 2K) NAND flash. It supports direct flash interface, works with or without OS.

An implementation of the Ext2 (Linux) filesystem for Mac OS X.

MetFS is a filesystem in userspace that is FUSE based, encrypted, dynamic sized (increase when new data added, decrease when data removed), single file when it's unmounted and very fast. MetFS 's proved to be running on Linux and FreeBSD.

This is the final release of truecrypt (7.1a) ported to use wxGTK3 instead of 2.8. None of the underlying code has changed, instead the compile errors due to modern distros using and updated version of wxGTK have been resolved (for now).

A simple utility to split a concatenated vCard format file into separate files (IETF RFC 2426 - vCard MIME Directory Profile). It splits on the BEGIN:VCARD and END:VCARD tags. It was created to help import a Lotus Organizer export file into Palm Desktop
