All,

I just came across a new package.

It is very young in its development, but it may have some basic functionality by summer and I would love to see it in OS 11.2.

It is a HSM (Hierarchical Storage Manager). http://code.google.com/p/fscops/

You can create a package of it and submit it to Contrib ;)

There are going to be patches to the kernel. And I don't think they can be implemented as a module. ie. the interface is pretty intrusive to the filesystem. I think they are looking at ext3 for their first effort. Thus I assume Contrib is not really doable?

Look at kernel-module-packages (KMPs), that might be an option how to do it - and kmps should be possible in contrib, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Isn't that rather unlikely to be technically possile for a general HSM facility rather than a new filesystem type, if it's implemented in current File Systems, or the VFS layer then a module doesn't help. What Greg Freemyer suggested, sounds rather similar to the generalised CacheFS, which is under consideration for mainline, if benchmarks can support it's effectiveness. There a fast SSD (or disk) can be used as 'backing' store, for slow disk or network filesystems. Perhaps Greg Freemyer, could take a look Dave Howell's CacheFS, which should be fairly mature now? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
