I don't know if it's - possible to literally merge them (and build the backend-based (libdiskfs) - vs. volatile-backend one (libnetfs) based on a pre-processor define or - similar), or just structure the source code (files) in a way such that - »diff -ru libdiskfs/ libnetfs/« gives meaningful results, figuratively - spoken. - <teythoon> tschwinge: my thoughts exactly - - -# IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-08-28 - - <teythoon> braunr: do you think another lib*fs would be frowned uppon? I - like the way procfs is structured and that could be refactored and - generalized into a library - <braunr> i think we need more lib*fs libraries - <braunr> and better integration - <braunr> that's one of the strengths in linux - <braunr> it makes writing file systems very easy - <teythoon> cool :) - <teythoon> now we only need a snappy name, any suggestions? - <braunr> i don't know what you like specificlaly in procfs - <braunr> libpseudofs ? - <teythoon> well, it's not perfect, but i like the way you just have to - implement a function for a node and it magically gains the ability to - being read - <teythoon> for example - <braunr> yes i see - <pinotree> lacks a bit of caching though - <braunr> no caching for such file systems - <teythoon> indeed - <braunr> why would you want caching ? - <pinotree> you might have files that don't change at all, or rarely do - <braunr> the premise is that it's meant for files generated on the fly - <braunr> but are they big ? |
