# RedoxFS
|
|
|
|
This is the default filesystem of Redox OS inspired by [ZFS](https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/zfs/) and adapted to a microkernel architecture.
|
|
|
|
(It's a replacement for [TFS](https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/tfs))
|
|
|
|
Current features:
|
|
|
|
- Compatible with Redox and Linux (FUSE)
|
|
- Copy-on-write
|
|
- Data/metadata checksums
|
|
- Transparent encryption
|
|
- Standard Unix file attributes
|
|
- File/directory size limit up to 193TiB (212TB)
|
|
- File/directory quantity limit up to 4 billion per 193TiB (2^32 - 1 = 4294967295)
|
|
- MIT licensed
|
|
- Disk encryption fully supported by the Redox bootloader, letting it load the kernel off an encrypted partition.
|
|
|
|
Being MIT licensed, RedoxFS can be bundled on GPL-licensed operating systems (Linux, for example).
|
|
|
|
### Install RedoxFS
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cargo install redoxfs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also build RedoxFS from this repository.
|
|
|
|
### Configure your storage device to allow rootless usage
|
|
|
|
If you are on Linux you need root permission to acess block devices (storage), but it's recommended to run RedoxFS as rootless.
|
|
|
|
To do that you need to configure your storage device permission to your user with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo setfacl -m u:your-username:rw /path/to/disk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create, mount and customize your RedoxFS partition
|
|
|
|
See [the instructions in the book](https://doc.redox-os.org/book/redoxfs.html) for RedoxFS tooling usage.
|
|
|
|
Currently RedoxFS tooling are:
|
|
|
|
- `redoxfs` mount a RedoxFS disk
|
|
- `redoxfs-ar` write files to a RedoxFS disk
|
|
- `redoxfs-clone` clone a RedoxFS disk
|
|
- `redoxfs-mkfs` create an empty RedoxFS disk
|
|
- `redoxfs-resize` resize a RedoxFS disk
