Conventional features of a log-structured +file systems (LFS) are high write performance and fast recovery time. +In addition, LFS prevents data write operations from overwriting the +disk blocks, thereby minimizing the damage to file data and system +consistency on hardware failure. Furthermore, LFS writes data and +meta-data in the correct order which helps ensuring consistency in the +entire file system. LFS can instantaneously create file system +snapshots and check the file system speedy. We implemented ``NILFS'' +using modern technology: For example, the file and inode blocks are +managed by a B-tree structure, internal data are processed in 64 bit +wide word size. The B-tree structure enables ``NILFS'' to create and +store huge files. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
