- NILFS is a new implementation of a log-structured file system for the
- Linux 2.6 operating system. Conventional features of a log-structured
- file systems (LFS) are high write performance and fast recovery time.
- In addition, LFS prevents data write operations from overwriting the
- disk blocks, thereby minimizing the damage to file data and system
- consistency on hardware failure. Furthermore, LFS writes data and
- meta-data in the correct order which helps ensuring consistency in the
- entire file system. LFS can instantaneously create file system
- snapshots and check the file system speedy. We implemented ``NILFS''
- using modern technology: For example, the file and inode blocks are
- managed by a B-tree structure, internal data are processed in 64 bit
- wide word size. The B-tree structure enables ``NILFS'' to create and
- store huge files.
