EROFS is still working in progress, thus it is not suitable

for all productive uses. play at your own risk :)



TODO List:

 - add the missing error handling code

   (mainly existed in xattr and decompression submodules);



 - finalize erofs ondisk format design  (which means that

   minor on-disk revisions could happen later);



 - documentation and detailed technical analysis;



 - general code review and clean up

   (including confusing variable names and code snippets);



 - support larger compressed clustersizes for selection

   (currently erofs only works as expected with the page-sized

    compressed cluster configuration, usually 4KB);



 - support more lossless data compression algorithms

   in addition to LZ4 algorithms in VLE approach;



 - data deduplication and other useful features.



erofs-mkfs (preview version) binaries for i386 / x86_64 are available at:



   https://github.com/hsiangkao/erofs_mkfs_binary



It is still in progress opening mkfs source code to public,

in any case an open-source mkfs will be released in the near future.





Code, suggestions, etc, are welcome. Please feel free to

ask and send patches,
