I will not maintain the Linux VFS port anymore. Feel free to fork and improve it.
You'll find me working on HAMMER FUSE Port instead.
-- Daniel, December 2012
As part of a student project, I attempted to port the HAMMER File System from DragonFly BSD to Linux. The file system port implements the VFS operations getattr, read and readdir. This means you can mount a HAMMER block device on Linux, list its contents and read from a file. Write support and support for pseudo file systems are missing.
The port has prototype quality and was only tested on a virtual machine. Crashes were observed from time to time, so please do not use this code on a live machine.
Two interesting by-products were created: A port of the self-contained hammerread.c to Linux, and a Linux FUSE module based on the same code. Both tools are available from the downloads section.
Please refer to the HAMMER Filesystem Porting mailinglist and newsgroup.
