fstransform is a tool to change a file-system from one format to another, for example from jfs/xfs/reiser to ext2/ext3/ext4, in-place and without the need for backup. Idea from Sergei Tzukanov (convertfs author), but it is fully independent code. Platforms: *nix

GFS (Global File System) is a cluster file system. It allows a cluster of computers to simultaneously use a block device that is shared between them (with FC, iSCSI, NBD, etc...). GFS reads and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses a lock module to allow the computers... Platforms: *nix

LUFS is enabling you to mount into your file hierarchy a remote computer's file system, which is accessible by various means (ftp, ssh, etc.). Then, the access to the remote files will be completely network transparent. In other words, you'll be able to read/modify remote files as if they were... Platforms: *nix, C/C++, BSD

EaseFilter File System Encryption Filter Driver SDK provides you a comprehensive security solution to develop transparent file level encryption products, it allows you to encrypt the files on-the-fly, it can allow only authorized users or processes to access the encrypted files. Supported strong... Platforms: Windows, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server

vlsf is a plugin for the LUFS package which allows to write large files (4GB and more) on primitive filesystems like FAT32. The workaround is simple: the file is stored in small files (chunks) on the real filesystem using the same method and naming scheme as the split utility. Installing To... Platforms: *nix

Coda is an advanced networked filesystem. The project has been developed at CMU since 1987 by the systems group of M. Satyanarayanan. in the SCS department. Coda is a distributed filesystem with its origin in AFS2. It has many features that are very desirable for network filesystems. Currently,... Platforms: *nix

The target audience of the FTP server is for those admins that need to be able to share files without... Platforms: *nix

File System development is very difficult and time consuming. Even small changes to existing file systems require deep understanding of kernel internals, making the barrier to entry for new developers high. Moreover, porting file system code from one operating system to another is almost as... Platforms: *nix

TDFS stands for "Trivially distributed file system", and is a proof-of-concept implementation of distributed file system as a ("stacked") layer above normal file systems. It uses the FUSE libraries and subsystem to implement this operation in userland. NOTE:This is currently a proof-of-concept... Platforms: *nix
