Hi all,
I have recently started working on S3QL again and am excited to announce
a pre-release of S3QL 5.0!
There's been a large number of internal cleanups, but the most important
change is that:
S3QL (finally!) no longer limits the compressed metadata size to 5 GB
because it no longer maintains entire filesystem metadata in a single
storage object.
Instead, the database file is distributed across multiple backend
objects with a block size configured at mkfs time. This means that S3QL
also no longer needs to upload the entire metadata object on unmount;
and there is no longer a size limit on the metadata.
It would be great if people could give this version a spin, but note
that there may still be bugs.
The pre-release is available for download from
https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql/releases/tag/release-5.0.0-pre1
Best,
-Nikolaus
