EROFS is still working in progress, thus it is not suitable
|
|
for all productive uses. play at your own risk :)
|
|
|
|
TODO List:
|
|
- add the missing error handling code
|
|
(mainly existed in xattr and decompression submodules);
|
|
|
|
- finalize erofs ondisk format design (which means that
|
|
minor on-disk revisions could happen later);
|
|
|
|
- documentation and detailed technical analysis;
|
|
|
|
- general code review and clean up
|
|
(including confusing variable names and code snippets);
|
|
|
|
- support larger compressed clustersizes for selection
|
|
(currently erofs only works as expected with the page-sized
|
|
compressed cluster configuration, usually 4KB);
|
|
|
|
- support more lossless data compression algorithms
|
|
in addition to LZ4 algorithms in VLE approach;
|
|
|
|
- data deduplication and other useful features.
|
|
|
|
The following git tree provides the file system user-space
|
|
tools under development (ex, formatting tool mkfs.erofs):

The open-source development of erofs-utils is at the early stage.
