Open Source Solaris File Systems

AVFS is a system, which enables all programs to look inside gzip, tar, zip, etc. files or view remote (ftp, http, dav, etc.) files, without recompiling the programs.

FATSort is a small utilitiy for Linux that sorts directory structures of FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and exFAT file systems. It is written in C and can be run from the command line.

BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade backup system for backing up Linux, WinXX PCs, Macs and laptops to a server's disk. Features include clever pooling of identical files, no client-side software, and a powerful Apache/CGI user interface.

WipeFreeSpace is a program to securely erase/wipe/overwrite/shred the free space on file systems WITHOUT DESTROYING EXISTING FILES, to prevent recovery of deleted sensitive data. This allows protecting the user's privacy when e.g. selling the drive or the whole computer. The following filesystems are supported: - Ext2/3/4, - NTFS, - XFS, - ReiserFSv3/4, - FAT12/16/32, - MinixFS1/2, - JFS, - HFS/HFS+, - OCFS. The following wiping methods are supported: Gutmann-like, random, Schneier, DoD. Additionally, WipeFreeSpace can finalize wiping the filesystem by writing blocks of zeros, which is friendly for sparse files, virtual systems and other places where zeroed-out space is not physically allocated. See the project homepage https://wipefreespace.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. To prevent clear-text data from being left on the drive in the first place, you can use LibSecRm (https://libsecrm.sourceforge.io), which wipes the data on-the-fly.

The Sleuth Kit is a C++ library and collection of open source file system forensics tools that allow you to, among other things, view allocated and deleted data from NTFS, FAT, FFS, EXT2, Ext3, HFS+, and ISO9660 images.

mac-robber is a digital forensics and incident response tool that can be used with The Sleuth Kit to create a timeline of file activity for mounted file systems.

MooseFS (MFS) is a fault tolerant, highly performing, scaling-out, network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS mounted with FUSE acts as other Unix-alike file systems: * A hierarchical structure (directory tree) * Stores POSIX file attributes (permissions, last access and modification times) Supports special files (block and character devices, pipes and sockets) * Symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not necessarily on MooseFS) and hard links (different names of files which refer to the same data on MooseFS) * Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address and/or password MooseFS on GitHub: https://github.com/moosefs/moosefs Packages repository, download: https://moosefs.com/download Documentation: https://moosefs.com/support Recent changes: https://github.com/moosefs/moosefs/blob/master/NEWS

Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool.

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.

Compact implementation of the ext2 filesystem in user space, using the FUSE library. Uses include providing ext2/ext3 support on platforms which do not support it and as a base for filesystem projects.

Network file system designed for use with home NAS. Simple to use, few dependencies, reasonable security, completely in user space.

It can federate local disks of network-connected PCs and compute nodes in several clusters.

A library and commands for cyclic logfiles. A cyclic log has a fixed size upon creation and pointers that refer to the start and end positions within that fixed size.They are useful for recording server output without losing the most recent data.

The Flexible Filesystem Benchmark (FFSB) is a cross-platform filesystem performance measurement tool. It uses customizable profiles to measure of different workloads, and it supports multiple groups of threads across multiple filesystems.

Target of this project is to make a driver, that will provide JFFS2 support for OpenSolaris.

This project provides a user-level command to edit NFSv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs). The command allows users to display and change NFSv4 ACLs from clients that do not have complete NFSv4 ACL support.

Python FAM provides a Python module to use the File Alteration Monitor (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam) in Python.

The DAFS protocol is a new file-access protocol designed to take advantage of emerging RDMA (remote direct memory access) interconnect technologies such as InfiniBand, VI and iWARP. See http://www.dafscollaborative.org/ for detailed DAFS information.

The ElHam project is a testing infrastructure to both stress file system calls and check for consistency of stored data. Distributed file systems, like NFS and CIFS, can be tested by the heavy use of locking, allowing multi-protocol testing.

EBML, or Extensible Binary Meta-Language, is a simple XML like binary language for describing data in structured style. EBML was originally designed for use in the Matroska project, but the developers saw that EBML was very flexible and extensible.
