185 | + NILFS2 is a log-structured file system (LFS) supporting continuous | |
186 | + snapshotting. In addition to versioning capability of the entire | |
187 | + file system, users can even restore files mistakenly overwritten or | |
188 | + destroyed just a few seconds ago. Since this file system can keep | |
189 | + consistency like conventional LFS, it achieves quick recovery after | |
190 | + system crashes. | |
191 | + | |
192 | + NILFS2 creates a number of checkpoints every few seconds or per | |
193 | + synchronous write basis (unless there is no change). Users can | |
194 | + select significant versions among continuously created checkpoints, | |
195 | + and can change them into snapshots which will be preserved for long | |
196 | + periods until they are changed back to checkpoints. Each | |
197 | + snapshot is mountable as a read-only file system concurrently with | |
198 | + its writable mount, and this feature is convenient for online backup. | |
199 | + | |
200 | + Some features including atime, extended attributes, and POSIX ACLs, | |
201 | + are not supported yet. | |
202 | + | |
203 | + To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the | |
204 | + module will be called nilfs2. If unsure, say N. | |
