Касательно http://sourceforge.net/projects/mapfs: --- MapFS implements a Linux filesystem which utilizes copy-on-write functionality and existing Linux filesystems to allow component filesystems (or portions thereof) to be combined into a single virtual filesystem that appears to be fully writable. MapFS is written in C and uses the standard Linux kernel VFS and loadable module interfaces for defining new filesystem types to the kernel. MapFS supports major kernel versions, including 2.4.7 > 2.6.13. With MapFS, a Linux system can provide sharing of read-only file systems while at the same time providing each client of the read-only file system the ability to write to its own data store. Files can be either on a read-only persistent repository file system, or on a writable persistent overlay file system. This enables an "optimistic sharing," where everything on the file system is assumed to be read-only. If an attempt is made to modify a file -- that is, a private copy is needed -- the performance hit is typically minimal, because most written-to files are small. Even in the event of a larger file, the performance hit is a one-time cost. --- На http://lwn.net/Articles/157729/ народ не поленился чуточку обозреть предметную область. -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
