AXFS is a XIP file system , compared with linear XIP CRAMFS , it is
better in efficiency and speed .

Anyone is doing this work ? Can you share with me ?

Thanks ,

Currently , I have compiled AXFS_inode.c successfully , and compiling
the AXFS_super.c , I feel that maybe I can be successful .Good luck .


Best Regards,
Bob

Yeah.  I got a copy that works on 2.4.21-ish Montavista CEE like kernels.

I just haven't got around to posting the patches.  Okay, Okay.  You
are the third person to ask.  I'll update sourceforge and repost here.

thanks for your work . we look forward your paches for 2.4.21 or
2.4.18 or other 2.4.x . thanks again .
In the meantime , I am compiling axfs patches in 2.4.18 .My policy is
that I basicly don't changed the AXFS code , and only add some
functions existed in 2.6.x into 2.4 kernel ,if necessary , I will
modify it . Thus , I think such working is not rather difficult ,
anyway , I am
analysing the implement of AXFS code , if necessary , I will modify
some functions of axfs.

 Till now , AXFS_super.c has been almost ok . Next ,I will compile
other axfs code and check some errors and warnning , and run the
kernel in the skyeye which supported smdk2410 .

Best Regards,
Bob

You're free to mess around with that if you want, but what I'm going
to release will make that a waste of time.  It's significantly
updated.

Hi Jared Hulbert ,

What a pity that I found few document execept axfs code.
Although we can read the source code to get all things that we want to
know as a programmer, a good document is helpfull for understanding
the source code.

I am debugging the AXFS code and researching its implement , I think a
good document is very precious ,but there is no such .

Could you mind please introuducing your architecture design ? Detailed
info will be welcomed .

For example , ext2 file system , we will get a ext2 file system
specification, such as super block , and how to organize the
structures of ext2 , Would you mind please introducing these related
info ?

By the way , have you managed the AXFS specification ? if yes ,many
programmer will join the AXFS group .

Best Regards,
Bob
