Description Arsen.Shnurkov 2010-07-22 01:04:38 UTC 
gparted doesn't recognize logfs filesystem
Comment 1 Curtis Gedak 2010-07-23 16:08:35 UTC 
Can you provide some additional information or links about the logfs file system?

Also are there free open source tools that run in GNU/Linux to work with this file system?

LogFS is included in the mainline Linux kernel in version 2.6.34 released on May 16, 2010.

Q: Where are the userland tools for working with LogFS? mkfs, fsck, ...?
A: mklogfs is here as a binary for i386 or here in source.
fsck does not exist yet. There is a kernel config option for debugging purposes, but the code is waiting for a userspace port.
Comment 3 Curtis Gedak 2012-11-29 21:39:24 UTC 
@Arsen, is the LogFS file system still being developed and maintained?

The http://logfs.org web site appear to be a place-holder page only.

Looks like it is not, so what to do with this bug report? WONTFIX?
Comment 5 Curtis Gedak 2014-12-15 19:38:22 UTC 
Thanks for catching this André.

Marking this report as WONTFIX because LogFS appears to have fallen out of favour.
