+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.

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It is still in progress opening mkfs source code to public,
|
|
|
+in any case an open-source mkfs will be released in the near future.
