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 |
