LynxFS is a FUSE-based driver for LynxOS filesystems that can be mounted as a loopback. It is a project that involves a LynxOS filesystem driver based on Fuse.
The LynxFS project is a filesystem driver based on FUSE that is designed to work with LynxOS. This driver is capable of mounting a LynxOS filesystem as a loopback. Although it is a bit lazily written, it is a reliable solution as it loads the entire file image into RAM and operates on the image in memory. Since most LynxOS images tend to be small, this approach works well.
This software review ponders the reason behind this software's creation. The developer admits that they had no particular reason for creating this software. They have never used LynxOS and do not plan to use it in the future. Despite their lack of personal interest, they wrote this driver just to prove that they could.
Implementation notes show that the LynxFS filesystem driver was written using a practical guide to file system design. While the guide was written with reference to the Be file system, it closely resembles LynxFS, which made the guide applicable. This driver appears to work fine in read-only mode. The developer admits that it can be improved and patched for read-write support, but they do not find it interesting.
The developer also notes that the driver was implemented solely through intelligent guesswork. Since they had no means of creating LynxOS filesystems, they could not perform extensive testing. However, based on their assessment, they believe that the code works well and should be reliable. If any issues occur, the developer asks users to contact them, and they will do their best to fix any problems.
