Log-structured File System (BSD)
open-in-new
<p>The Log-Structured File System (or LFS) is an implementation of a <a href="/facts/Log-structured_file_system/cL4ykhdf">log-structured file system</a> (a concept originally proposed and implemented by <a href="/facts/John_Ousterhout/VEgPbRVQ">John Ousterhout</a>), originally developed for <a href="/facts/Berkeley_Software_Distribution/XQKcURrh">BSD</a>. It was removed from <a href="/facts/FreeBSD/RKsFTm7F">FreeBSD</a> and <a href="/facts/OpenBSD/xmPS9tek">OpenBSD</a>; the <a href="/facts/NetBSD/PTm5HWls">NetBSD</a> implementation was nonfunctional until work leading up to the 4.0 release made it viable again as a production file system. </p>
