petardfs 0.0.2 by Ben Martin (http://freshmeat.net/users/monkeyiq/) Mon, Mar 19th 2007 10:26
About: petardfs is a FUSE filesystem designed to hoist your applications with errors. With no configuration, petardfs takes a base filesystem and exposes it through FUSE. An XML configuration file is used to tell petardfs which files to report errors for and what error code to use. For example, foo.txt can have an EIO error at bytes 34 to 37. There is explicit support for errors such as EAGAIN and EINTR, where petardfs will only report such transient errors a nominated number of times. This is handy for testing applications that support such I/O conditions gracefully. Changes: Petardfs is now a subclass of fuselagefs. Much filesystem delegating code has now been moved to libfuselagefs. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) URL: http://freshmeat.net/projects/petardfs/ Dependencies - libxerces (0.2.8 or newer) - libfuselage fuselagefs consists of a C++ wrapper class for FUSE called Fuselagefs, as well as Delegatefs, which is a Fuselagefs subclass that delegates all operations to an underlying base filesystem. With Delegatefs, you can expose dir1 at mountpoint dir2 very easily as a FUSE filesystem. Subclasses of Delegatefs can then be created, which add a little extra functionality to the delegation operation but rely on the parent class to perform the work and return errors to FUSE in an appropriate manner. An example subclass is petardfs.
