A few years ago, there was a project making a filesystem, where a file's name will simply be its inode number. It was intended to save on the name-to-inode lookups of a regular filesystem, for applications like Squid, which keep file names in some sort of a database already.

Does anyone know, what became of that? To the naive me it seems like this can just be a mount option for ufs. Thanks!



The inode file system was removed to ease UFS2 development. It's in the
Attic under sys/ufs/ifs.


When it was removed it was t said that it would be easier to reimplement it again
after the filesystem stuff quietenned down.. No-one has done htat, bu tit would progably be
feasible to get ti foing again soon, or at least after jeff's next changes go in,..
