Hi,

I am a computer science student from Austria and I am looking for a
topic for my masters thesis. I am very interested in log-structured file
systems and I thought of doing a few things from the TODO list on the
website: http://www.nilfs.org/en/current_status.html
I am particularly interested in the "Online defrag" feature, but I
haven't looked into the source code yet. I have a few questions
concerning that and any help would be greatly appreciated:

1. Has someone already started working on it?
2. Is there some fundamental difficulty that makes it hard to implement
for a log-structured fs?
3. How much work would it entail? Is it doable for one well versed C
programmer in 2 to 3 months? 

best regards,
Andreas Rohner
