Frfs is an in-RAM filesystem software that utilizes the FUSE infrastructure to enable efficient management and storage of data. It provides comprehensive functionalities and features to streamline file handling operations.
FRFS is an impressive software that implements a fully functional in-RAM filesystem using the FUSE framework. With Linux, creating RAM-backed file system is quite easy. However, it requires users to become root. FRFS offers a solution to this issue by allowing users to mount the file system using the FUSE library and pseudo-file system.
This software is incredibly useful and works flawlessly. It supports multiple useful features of a Linux file system, including files and directories, symlinks, hard links, unlink open files, free on the last close(), and most file operations. However, FRFS lacks some functionality, such as statfs(2), flush(2), and extended attributes. These operations are not implemented yet but could be implemented quickly.
Furthermore, this software is not thread-safe yet, and some infrastructure is missing in the code. Nevertheless, FRFS is easy to build, requiring only one command: make. To mount the file system, the user needs to run the command ./frfs /some/place/frfs followed by the necessary commands to use the file system, such as cd /some/place/frfs or tar xjf /my/files/linux-2.6.22.3.tar.bz2 cd linux-2.6.22.3 make cd. To unmount the file system, the user can run the command fusermount -u /some/place/frfs.
To use FRFS, users must have FUSE installed on their system. In summary, FRFS is a remarkable software that makes it easy to create RAM-backed file system without the need for the root user. Nonetheless, some features are yet to be implemented, and it's not thread-safe yet.
