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.
|
|
erofs-mkfs (preview version) binaries for i386 / x86_64 are available at:
|
|
https://github.com/hsiangkao/erofs_mkfs_binary
|
|
It is still in progress opening mkfs source code to public,
|
in any case an open-source mkfs will be released in the near future.
|
|
|
Code, suggestions, etc, are welcome. Please feel free to
