Full API documentation is included. changedfiles 0.9.6.1 http://freshmeat.net/releases/126279/ changedfiles is a framework for filesystem replication, security monitoring, and/or automatic file transformations--essentially any application where you'd poll files or directories and either do something to them or send them somewhere else (or both). The difference is, the kernel tells you when they change, instead of you having to poll. Besides which, it's an easy real time FTP push mirror to one or multiple sites. The changedfiles system consists of two parts: a kernel module (works with Linux kernel version 2.4) which reports to a device whenever a file on the filesystem changes, and a daemon which runs in user space and can be configured to do almost any action when a change to a file matching the one of the patterns it looks for is reported. The kernel module is SMP safe and has been tested on Intel, PowerPC, and Alpha. Compact Disc Input and Control Library 0.61 http://freshmeat.net/releases/126183/ The Compact Disc Input and Control library encapsulates CD-ROM reading and control.

The reason for implementing it inside the kernel is to avoid the overhead of context switching and memory copying between user-space and kernel-space. Although the its scalability is lower than that of IPVS (IP Virtual Server), it is flexible, because the content of the request is known before the request is redirected to the real server.

It can be regarded as doing the same job as the VFS (virtual filesystem switch) in the kernel: it is a switch, distributing the filesystem calls to its supported filesystems. However, LUFS filesystems are implemented in userspace. This would be a drawback for local filesystems where the access speed is important, but proves to be a huge advantage for networked filesystems where the userland flexibility is most important. monopd 0.8.0 (Development) http://freshmeat.net/releases/126270/ monopd is a dedicated game server daemon for Monopoly-like board games.
