* node versioning: Introduce an inode version number into UFS, so we can store inodes in different formats. As an example of how to use this, introduce a new inode format that has a 32 bit link count field. David Malone is the coordinator.
* UFS Journaling: Add transaction journaling and playback to the UFS filesystem. The goal is to increase the reliability of the filesystem and greatly reduce the need for a full 'fsck' after a crash or power loss. This is a project that deals with not only the filesystem internals, but also the VM and buffer/cache systems, so it is an excellent opportunity to learn about many fundamental aspects of an operating system.
Work is already in progress on this task, but more help is always needed and welcome. Candidates should have at least a cursory understanding of filesystem data structures (inodes, free lists, directories) and a strong desire to learn more about such systems. This project would be a major contribution to anyone's resume, but it is not for the faint of heart. Scott Long is the coordinator.
* Autofs: Create the autofs filesystem from a specification. Candidates should have some filesystem knowledge and network filesystem knowledge. Most of this work is done, however kernel transport and interaction with the "amd" automounter needs to be completed. Alfred Perlstein is coordinating.
* Logical Volume Manager
* Magic Symlinks: Implement magic symlinks. Candidates should have some filesystem knowledge. Experimental patches exist against 4-STABLE, though the DragonFly implementation using the setvar utility should be examined. John W. De Boskey can coordinate.
Franchement, c'est quand même super super super méga chaud.... le GSC, c'est plutot élitiste....
