Open Source Linux File Systems

Old home of linux NFS development; see linux-nfs.org instead now.

Open-source tool to access Amazon S3 file storage. S3cmd is a free command line tool and client for uploading, retrieving and managing data in Amazon S3 and other cloud storage service providers that use the S3 protocol, such as Google Cloud Storage. Lots of features and options have been added to s3cmd since its very first release in 2008.... we recently counted more than 60 command line options, including multipart uploads, encryption, incremental backup, s3 sync, ACL and Metadata management, S3 bucket size, bucket policies, and more!

Collectl is a light-weight performance monitoring tool capable of reporting interactively as well as logging to disk. It reports statistics on cpu, disk, infiniband, lustre, memory, network, nfs, process, quadrics, slabs and more in easy to read format.

FastDFS is an open source high performance DFS ( distributed file system ). It's major functions include: file storing, file syncing and file accessing, and design for high capacity and load balancing.

djmount is a UPnP AV client. It mounts as a Linux filesystem (using FUSE) the media content of compatible UPnP AV devices : the Audio and Video content on the network is automatically discovered, and can be browsed as a standard directory tree.

UNFS3 is a user-space implementation of the NFSv3 server specification. It provides a unified mountd and nfsd program and so far runs under Linux, NetBSD, and Solaris.

The Linux InfiniBand Project is a collection of sub-projects focused around providing InfiniBand drivers for existing 2.4 based kernels. See Home Page for details.

Synchrorep is a one click directory synchronization software. All modification will be reported to one to the other and vice versa. Usefull for nomads or speedup differencials backup.

Blueper is a tool designed to abuse Bluetooth file transferring. This tool can cause several mischievous results, including; continual popups of file transfer requests, writing data to a remote device disk,or locking up/crashing some devices.

PRATIMA, an Asynchronous Remote Volume Replicator for Linux: Pratima performs online, real-time, reliable and efficient block level data replication to a remote computer over a network in both synchronous and asynchronous modes for Linux.

CFshell is a set of command-line utilities for Rackspace/Mosso's Cloud Files storage service.

Setup files are quite old.

FSFS is a secure distributed file system in user space built over FUSE and OpenSSL. It stores AND transfers data between clients and server in secure form, leaving most of the cryptography to the clients, thus relieving the server of the additional work.

A Java based high performance CIFS Proxy Server that provides handlers for each type of CIFS packets to the user. In essence it provides a generic CIFS/SMB packet sniffing, logging and handling ability by providing simple Java APIs to the users.

The GPFS Monitor Suite was developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to assist with the deployment and operation of the GLADE storage envrionment, which utilizes IBM's General Parallel File System (GPFS). The suite uses perl scripts and Ganglia to provide low impact near real time monitoring of a GPFS multi-cluster environment consisting of 4,700+ Linux systems. This is not a standalone package, some assembly on your part is required!

A set of perl script to be used with Hobbit or Big Brother monitoring system. netapp.pl - check netapp storage via rsh beastat.pl - use weblogic.jar to check BEA WLS Server dbcheck.pl - use DBI/DBD perl libraries to check Oracle/Informix/SQLServer

JStream is a stream manipulator based on plugin architecture. Streams are manipulated via custom scripts (Java language). JStream uses Java NIO for better performances. With JStream, you can easyly create programs like : MD5Sum, TCP Redirector...

A Java Network Block Device server with various "pluggable" backends. It currently supports the use of the local filesystems and ftp servers, with caching and striping. An email backend will soon follow.

libfusi is a management interface library for managing FUSE network filesystem mounts. gfuse-manager is a Gtk+ GUI tool using this interface.

Minirighi is a multi-threading open-source operating system written for didactic purpose. It has been written from scratch and it is compatible with POSIX.

Mr Commander (linux gtk+2.0 based) like Total (Windows old) Commander on MS Windows. File browser shell (SMB, FTP support).

Multicasting Master-Slave Network Filesystem - efficient method of populating filesystems among several machines on the local network using multicasting.

NFSProxy is a proxy for the NFS protocol. Its purpose is to cache the data which go through it, so files can be delivered far more quickly on a second read.

OceanStore is an architecture for a global-scale file system which uses erasure coding, cryptography, and Byzantine agreement to provide available, highly durable storage in a peer-to-peer environment.

A kernel written by Merck Hung. IA32 architecture, 32-bit protected mode, Memory paging, Keyboard, Timer Interrupt Handling, and a simple kernel shell to operate. Written in C language, development under Linux environment.
