hi, |
2 |
today I added some manpage and now there are patches for the mm kernels |
3 |
too you can find everything at d.g.o/~lu_zero/gcloop/ |
4 |
|
5 |
Recently got contacted by one of the Jollix author (www.jollix.de) and |
6 |
seems that he is going to use gcloop (at least he managed to do some |
7 |
test locally and now is thinking about the script to use in the livecd). |
8 |
|
9 |
|
10 |
Plans for the future: |
11 |
|
12 |
- Implement gcloop in the cryptoloop module (easy) or as a dm-daemon |
13 |
module (harder, by looking at dm-crypto seems that I should spend some |
14 |
time learning how mempools work and how to not add much overhead when |
15 |
guessing the block we need) that would semplify the init script removing |
16 |
the need for the |
17 |
|
18 |
modprobe compressloop |
19 |
and the |
20 |
echo "nothing"| losetup -e ucl-0 -p0 /dev/loop0 /mnt/point/image.ucl |
21 |
|
22 |
that is needed with our current losetup and gcloop. |
23 |
|
24 |
- Kernelify as much as possible the compressors |
25 |
|
26 |
- I'll change the userspace application names to something shorter |
27 |
|
28 |
- Hopefully I'll have enough the time to add more algorithm to let us |
29 |
try something like multiple gcloop image with different speeds and |
30 |
compression ratio (better speed for boot, better compression for data) |
31 |
|
32 |
Thats all |
