VFS for Git was originally named Git Virtual File System (GVFS). However due to complaints by the developers of GNOME over confusion with GNOME Virtual File System , Microsoft announced that it would solicit ideas for a new name of the software in June 2018, following its acquisition of GitHub. [ 2 ]
A cause of confusion is the fact that the file system abstraction used by the Linux kernel is also called the virtual file system (VFS) layer. This is however at a lower level. The GVfs model differs from e.g. GnomeVFS, which it replaces, in that file systems must be mounted before they are used.
The position of the VFS layer within various parts of the Linux kernel's storage stack. [1]One of the first virtual file system mechanisms on Unix-like systems was introduced by Sun Microsystems in SunOS 2.0 in 1985. [2]
git-machete, a repository organizer & tool for automating rebase/merge/pull/push operations; Microsoft developed the Virtual File System for Git (VFS for Git; formerly Git Virtual File System or GVFS) extension to handle the size of the Windows source-code tree as part of their 2017 migration from Perforce. VFS for Git allows cloned ...
In recent Linux kernels, the xfs_freeze functionality is implemented in the VFS layer, and is executed automatically when the Volume Manager's snapshot functionality is invoked. This was once a valuable advantage as the ext3 file system could not be suspended [ 26 ] and the volume manager was unable to create a consistent "hot" snapshot to back ...
Some researchers have made a functional and experimental analysis of several distributed file systems including HDFS, Ceph, Gluster, Lustre and old (1.6.x) version of MooseFS, although this document is from 2013 and a lot of information are outdated (e.g. MooseFS had no HA for Metadata Server at that time).
A cause of confusion is the fact that the file system abstraction used by the Linux kernel is also called the virtual file system (VFS) layer. This is however at a lower level. Due to perceived shortcomings of GnomeVFS [1] a replacement called GVfs was developed. GVfs is based on GIO and allows partitions to be mounted through FUSE. [2]
ReiserFS is a general-purpose, journaling file system initially designed and implemented by a team at Namesys led by Hans Reiser and licensed under GPLv2.Introduced in version 2.4.1 of the Linux kernel, it was the first journaling file system to be included in the standard kernel.
