| EROFS is still working in progress, thus it is not suitable |
| for all productive uses. play at your own risk :) |
| |
| TODO List: |
| - add the missing error handling code |
| (mainly existed in xattr and decompression submodules); |
| |
| - finalize erofs ondisk format design (which means that |
| minor on-disk revisions could happen later); |
| |
| - documentation and detailed technical analysis; |
| |
| - general code review and clean up |
| (including confusing variable names and code snippets); |
| |
| - support larger compressed clustersizes for selection |
| (currently erofs only works as expected with the page-sized |
| compressed cluster configuration, usually 4KB); |
| |
| - support more lossless data compression algorithms |
| in addition to LZ4 algorithms in VLE approach; |
| |
| - data deduplication and other useful features. |
| |
| The following git tree provides the file system user-space |
| tools under development (ex, formatting tool mkfs.erofs): |
| >> git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs-utils.git |
| |
| The open-source development of erofs-utils is at the early stage. |
| Contact the original author Li Guifu <bluce.liguifu@huawei.com> and |
