Hunter ShafferandAuke Kok 41b1d1180b Check device format before restore
When we import the superblock we first check whether
the filesystem is at least format version 2. We then
verify that the device given is a meta_dev. The
test script now also initialize the new filesystem
to format_V2. Adds coverage in the test script for the
new checks.

Introduction

scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.

The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.

Highlights of the design and implementation include:

  • Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
  • Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
  • Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
  • Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
  • 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
  • Open GPLv2 implementation
