libblkid: Add scoutfs filesystem. #3596
Conversation
|
Update: Fixed unknown |
|
Update: Fixed printf specifiers. |
|
Hmm... we have a bad experience when the filesystem is detected only by a short magic string. It's better when it's possible to check something more from the header or superblock. For example, check some numbers for limits, etc. The ideal solution is a checksum, because it ensures we read the correct superblock. |
|
@karelzak yep, I changed it to validate the checksum. There are further checks we could to to validate the structure but those are going to be much more complicated than this. |
|
Update: Several changes:
|
|
Also is there some superblock indicator that distinguishes different devices inside a single filesystem? For example |
No. scoutfs always has a 1:1 pairing of meta/data devices. There is no further zoning or subdivision, either. |

One additional update with hints, some spacing/whitespace/misc fixes, and removed double reading of the sb, and minsz (setting it to 1gb). |

Looks like CI can't fetch resources atm. |
The scoutfs filesystem is maintained out-of-tree, but current enough that we want to submit it for inclusion in libblkid - there's a few users out there that would benefit from being able to have lsblk aid in diagnosing and identifying. For more information about scoutfs, visit the github page here: https://github.com/versity/scoutfs Test images are provided for both data and meta devices. These were taken from validation samples. The wiper is set to only wipe a minute part of the filesystem - basically only the superblock. This is adequately destructive. Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke.kok@versity.com>

Update: rebased, few last requested changes. Test images updated to match minsz. |
