Advanced file systems
by John Lange 04 Jan '05

04 Jan '05

Hello List. Does anyone know of a file system that supports dynamic meta-data and file versioning? By meta-data, I mean information about the file. Typically this would be things like created/modified date, etc. but I would like to be able to store other meta-data, perhaps things like "customer id" etc. By versioning, I mean, when a file is modified or deleted the previous version is automatically saved. I would like this to be a file system available under Linux but I am curious to hear of any file systems that are like this. Regards, -- John Lange

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <crerkb$6pd$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: RAID on a Budget We've all heard people talk about disaster recovery and business continuity plans. One of the steps to building a strong IT environment is using redundancy to reduce the downtime a business could face at the worst possible time. John Schulz will be presenting a overview of various RAID (redundant array of independent disks or redundant array of inexpensive disks) solutions he has worked with. The focus will be on low to mid end OEM or "build your own" solutions where cost per GB is an important factor. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our new meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now: http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/ The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members. The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved! -- Gilbert E.
