An mp3 of our presentation at CodeCon 2004 is now available. You can listen to it here.

The highlights of the talk include me saying "NFS sucks!" and Dave answering a question about transactional filesystems with something completely unrelated. --mag

New snapshots are finally up. Barring last minute changes, these are the snapshots that will be used for the CodeCon demonstration. There's a README in the funfs tarball which has installation instructions. Have fun. --mag

I finally got around to making some snapshots. These are very alpha quality and should be considered a technology preview only. See funfs/doc/README for brief instruction of setting it up. Note, that you need a very recent version of WvStreams for FunFS to work. You can get one from the NITI Anonymous CVS. --mag

A while back I ripped all the FAM stuff out of FunFS, because it was just not working out. But the time has come to look for a replacement. One promising alternative is Dazuko. Unfortunately, there is no Linux 2.6 version yet.... I started looking into porting it, but it turns out 2.6 no longer exports sys_call_table to modules so hijacking system calls through it is no longer possible. One suggested alternative is using Linux Security Module thing, newly added in 2.6. Looks like it offers a lot of the same hooks Dazuko was trying to get from system calls. It might work. I'll have try it. --mag
