| Examples of FUSE File Systems
|
| There are many examples of file systems that
| use FUSE. Sometimes FUSE is used for
| prototyping or testing file systems or it is
| used as the file system itself. It is beyond
| the scope of this article to list all of
| them or even a good chunk of them, but some
| that you might recognize (or might not)
| include:
|
| * SSHFS This is a file system client
| that can mount and interact with
| directories and files on a remote system
| using sftp. Very handy file system for
| mounting remote file systems.
| * GmailFS This FUSE based file system
| was written to use Googleâs email
| storage as a file system. Originally it
| used the gmail web interface but this
| kept changing. The previous link takes
| you to a new version of GmailFS that
| uses IMAP to use the gmail email space
| as a file system. One of the interesting
| aspects of this file system is that itâs
| written in Python.
| * EncFS This FUSE based file system
| provides an encrypted file system for
| Linux. For a discussion about encrypted
| file systems and Linux please read this.

Testing Out Btrfs In Ubuntu 10.10
,----[ Quote ]
| The performance of Btrfs has certainly
| improved a great deal since it was first
| introduced in the mainline kernel back with
| the Linux 2.6.29 release in early 2009.
| Today's tests show that even with old
| hardware both when it comes to the processor
| and disk drive that even still Btrfs manages
| to perform well both with its default mount
| options and then again when taking advantage
| of the transparent compression support.
| Beyond the quantitative disk results, Btrfs
| also provides other advantages like with the
| system rollback support as being worked on
| in Fedora and solid state drive (SSD)
| optimizations. We are also exploring Btrfs
| in other ways at Phoronix to tie it into
| Phoromatic for some rather unique and
| interesting test capabilities.
|
| It is good to see Canonical now pushing the
| Btrfs installation support into Ubuntu 10.10
| after it has been available as an option in
| Fedora for more than a year now and is even
| the default file-system with MeeGo. For
| those interested in trying out this file-
| system, we certainly would recommend it and
| we look forward to its continued adoption.

Where The Btrfs Performance Is At Today
,----[ Quote ]
| For testing we used a ZaReason Verix notebook
| that we are currently reviewing. This notebook
| that is based upon an MSI MS-1656 has an Intel
| Core i7 Q720 processor, 6GB of system memory,
| an 80GB Intel SSDSA2MH08 SSD, and a NVIDIA
| GeForce GTS 250M GPU. We loaded Ubuntu 10.04
| LTS on this powerful notebook with the Linux
| 2.6.35-rc1 kernel while continuing to use
| X.Org Server 1.7.6, GCC 4.4.3, and the GNOME
| 2.30.0 desktop.
