Towards a Highly Adaptable Filesystem Framework for Linux
Overview Linux is growing richer in independent general purpose file systems with their own unique advantages, however, fragmentation and divergence can be confusing for users. KFS aims to support a wide variety of file structures and policies, allowing the representation of a file or directory to change on the fly to adapt to characteristics not well known a priori, e.g. list-based to tree-based, or small to large directory layouts. It is not intended as yet another file system for Linux, but as a platform to study trade-offs associated with adaptability and evaluate new algorithms before incorporation on an established file system.
