NILFS is a log-structured file system supporting versioning of the entire file system and continuous snapshotting which allows users to even restore files mistakenly overwritten or destroyed just a few seconds ago.
This site provides related resources of NILFS including source packages and binary packages.
NILFS is under development. We welcome any comments or contributions.
- NILFS utilities 2.0.13 was released. The reported cleanerd failure on mount was fixed. The rmcp command was enhanced so that it can handle range of checkpoint numbers.
-- Jun 22, 2009 JST. - nilfs.org and the nilfs mailing list will stop
from June 12 9:00 a.m. to June 15 0:30 a.m. UTC due to planned power outage.
A mirror site is available
during the period (the mailing list and git repositories are not available).
Sorry for inconvenience.
We are back, thank you. June 15, 2009 JST
-- Jun 9, 2009 JST. - NILFS 2.0.14 was released. A memory leak problem slipped into nilfs-2.0.13 was fixed. Users using the version 2.0.13 are recommended to upgrade to this version.
-- May 23, 2009 JST. - NILFS 2.0.13 was released. Several bug-fixes were backported from the mainline kernel. They include fixes for possible memory access overrun due to incorrect ioctl argument data, circular locking problems, GC failure due to checkpoint removal error, possible recovery failures, and so forth.
-- May 17, 2009 JST. - NILFS version 2 was merged in the Linux Kernel 2.6.30-rc1.
-- Apr 8, 2009 JST. - NILFS utilities 2.0.12 was released. Some reported bugs of userland tools were fixed. The lscp and lssu commands were improved to reduce latency time for listing many items and allow partial output of checkpoints or segments with additional options.
-- Apr 2, 2009 JST. - NILFS 2.0.12 was released. This release fixed GC-related problems causing filesystem corruption and fixed false detections of kernel lock dependency checks.
-- Mar 30, 2009 JST. - NILFS 2.0.11 and NILFS utilities 2.0.11 were released. The kernel module introduced nanosecond resolution timestamps and resolved a problem on the tar program that it infrequently fails to expand symbolic links on nilfs. This (and perhaps some later versions) of nilfs2-utils display a warning message on mount, which notices possibility of disk format change.
