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 |
| 33 |
