FTRFS Emerges as Radiation-Resistant Linux File System for Space Environments
Phoronix reports on an RFC patch series introducing FTRFS, the Fault-Tolerant Radiation-Robust Filesystem, designed for radiation-prone environments like space. Not related to Btrfs, FTRFS adds per-block and per-inode CRC32, Reed-Solomon forward error correction, and EDAC-compatible error tracking; FSCK, extended attributes, SELinux support, and large-file indirect blocks are planned features, with the patch series posted to the Linux kernel mailing list.
