kvmfs

[Mark Ryden]

Hi,
Could anybody tell a few sentences anout kvmfs: what is it for ?
I did not find anything in the FAQ; googling for it did not give a valuable
info either.

It's a pseudo filesystem for generating inodes; it's just glue to get 
things working; it has no specific functionality.

I'll rip it out in favor of ainofs [1] soon.

Thanks, Avi.

I thought that this kvmfs is somehow connected to
"a synthetic file system that can be used to control one or more KVM
virtual machines running on a computer."

see:
http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2007/view_abstract.php?content_key=102

I assume there is no connection between your kvm and this project ?

Regards,
Mark

Ah, okay.  There are two kvmfs's.

What I described is a kvm-internal thing.  The paper appears to describe 
something that is used to manage kvm as a whole.  I don't really know 
anything about it, I guess I'll have to attend the presentation.
