= Foreword = This is my effort to create a unionfs filesystem implementation which is probably slower but way more flexible than the current in-kernel unionfs solution. Currently it's almost fully usable, will only minor convenience issues to be fixed... I'm open to patches, suggestions, whatever (at radek@podgorny.cz)... [[GoogleAd()]] == Why choose this stuff == * The filesystem has to be mounted after the roots are mounted when using the standard module. With unionfs-fuse, you can mount the roots later and their contents will appear seamlesly * You get caching which speeds things up a lot for free * You get nice stats (optional) == Why NOT choose it == * Compared to kernel-space solution we need lots of useless context switches which makes kernel-only solution clear speed-winner == Usage == {{{ unionfs [options] root[:root...] mountpoint The first argument is a colon separated list of directories to merge general options: -o opt,[opt...] mount options -h --help print help -V --version print version UnionFS options: -o stats show statistics in the file 'stats' under the mountpoint }}} == TODO == * Add support for choice which roots are read-only and which are not * Add cache controls * Handle writing to /stats intelligently [[GoogleAd()]] == Donation == Ig you use the software and like it, please consider a donation (provided by Pay''''''Pal)... [[PayPalDonation()]] == Download == * Latest version: 0.15 (released 2006-08-07) * Archive location: http://podgorny.cz/unionfs-fuse/releases/ If you want to follow the development closely, see my experimental mercurial repository at: * http://hg.podgorny.cz/unionfs-fuse My older tinyrcs repository is at: * http://podgorny.cz/~radek/rep/unionfs-fuse/ (tinyrcs is my currently-under-development revision control system) -> ["TinyRCS"] |
