There are some papers on the internet about NiLFS/NiLFS2. You can better ask Ryusuke directly about those since he wrote them :-) If you look at the source code you'll also find some references to (an empty) disc layout esp. in mkfs.nilfs2. If you have questions about some part, just feel free to ask here :) With regards, Reinoud Zandijk _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://www.nilfs.org/mailman/listinfo/users
