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. | ||
|
||
erofs-mkfs (preview version) binaries for i386 / x86_64 are available at: | ||
|
||
https://github.com/hsiangkao/erofs_mkfs_binary | ||
|
||
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. | ||
|
||
|
||
Code, suggestions, etc, are welcome. Please feel free to | ||
