FFS: why doesn't this already exist?
|
Overview
Ferret File System (FFS) is actually two ideas which can work together or separately: storage agnosticism and file format agnosticism.
Ideally it should probably be implemented as a layer between {a very simplified node-file system (files have no names, folders, or meta, just volume-unique IDs) plus volume-database} and {a filesystem API} which would be compatible with most modern software but with additional features.
For nearer-term practical purposes, though, since I don't yet know how to roll my own filesystem :D, it looks possible to implement most of the utility of this concept as a userland application.
