NILFS is a log-structured file system designed to support fast writing, fast
recovery times, live snapshots, concurrent read-only snapshot mounts, and live
file system resizing. Its inodes are managed using B-trees.
The mount_nilfs
command attaches the NILFS
file system residing on the specified special device
node on the location indicated with node.
-c
checkpoint
- Select the checkpoint number checkpoint to be
mounted instead of the default last one.
-o
options
- Use the specified mount options as specified in
mount(8).
-t
gmtoff
- Set the time zone offset (in seconds) from UTC to
gmtoff, with positive values indicating east of the
Prime Meridian. If not set, the user's current time zone will be
used.
NILFS is a file system developped by NTT and released in 2005 for Linux. Version
2 is available since 2009. This cleanroom implementation was written by
Reinoud Zandijk for NetBSD in
2009, and has first been released as part of NetBSD 6.
This implementation of NILFS was written by Reinoud
Zandijk.
This implementation currently only supports read-only operation. See
mount_lfs(8) for an older
log-structured file system with write support. Also see
wapbl(4) and
mount(8) for fast journal-based
recovery using FFS.
