Open Source 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.

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.

Development of UNFS3 has moved to GitHub: https://github.com/unfs3/unfs3 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.

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

NOTE: NTFS-3G development has moved to GitHub. This project page exists for archival purposes only! For the latest NTFS-3G updates, please visit: https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g The NTFS-3G driver is a safe read/write NTFS driver for Linux, Mac OS X, OpenSolaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, QNX, Windows and Haiku, providing fast and POSIX handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista and Windows 7 file system

fs-check checks filesystem sizes to see if they are getting too full. It uses a configuration file that specifies the filesystems to check, email contacts, trigger thresholds (percentage or amount used/unused), and a report program to run.

Not even in alpha stage, anyone doing java and interested to join please do, loads of stuff to do.
