Snapshots in tmpfs
Hi folks,
when stumbling around in the wiki for interesting topics for my bachelor
thesis I found this entry:
http://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/tmpfs-snapshot
I consider to work on that this summer.
What I've done so far:
*) spoke to a lecturer who is very interested in this topic and is
prepared to supervise me.
*) spoke to two NetBSD developers personally. They said that are
prepared to help me finding support in the community.
*) spent enough time working with C to feel confident with this task.
*) Made myself clear that the main purpose is a good thesis, which might
not be ready for being committed to NetBSD, but might me a good source
for others.
What information I need:
*)
I'm into this out of interest in filesystems and because I'm looking for
challenge. Are there any other interesting filesystem topics (which
might not be on the wiki) to work on?
*)
What is it good for? The only practical use I can imagine are backups on
thin clients, which operate without a hard disk. But this is clearly
far-fetched, in my eyes.
*) Are there folks out there who are interested in supporting me?
Regards,
Manuel Wiesinger
