Filesystem in Userspace is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

OpenSolaris is an open source project created by Sun Microsystems to build a developer community around the Solaris Operating System technology.

The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a subsystem for online disk storage management which has become a de facto standard for storage management under Linux.

GnomeVFS is a library that allows applications to transparently access various types of filesystems through a uniform interface. GnomeVFS modules include support for things such as WebDAV, ftp, local ... [More] filesystem, gzip, bzip2, cdda, and others. GNOME VFS is currently used as one of the foundations of the Nautilus file manager [Less]

WinDirStat is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for MS Windows (all current variants). It shows disk, file and directory sizes in a treelist as well as graphically in a treemap, much like KDirStat and SequoiaView.

MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE ... [More] (File-system in USErspace) mechanism that originated on Linux. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems become readily usable on Mac OS X. The core of MacFUSE is in a dynamically loadable kernel extension. Although MacFUSE has a completely different kernel-level implementation from Linux FUSE, it supports the FUSE specification well enough that many popular FUSE file systems can be easily compiled and work on Mac OS X--often out of the box.

ZFS is a new kind of file system that provides simple administration, transactional semantics, end-to-end data integrity, and immense scalability. ZFS is not an incremental improvement to existing ... [More] technology; it is a fundamentally new approach to data management. We've blown away 20 years of obsolete assumptions, eliminated complexity at the source, and created a storage system that's actually a pleasure to use. [Less]

This is a GUI for arbitrary FUSE filesystems designed to use the MacFuse backend recently ported by Google. It has a plugin architecture so each filesystem can provide its own UI and other methods ... [More] , while integrating into the overall application. The goal is to make FUSE filesystems like SSH, FTP, Subversion, and others easily accessible to mac users. [Less]

QTParted is a Partition Magic clone. It uses libparted for raw disk access, so you need parted installed to use it. The goal of QTParted is to fully wrap all function of parted and create a user friendly PM clone for Linux.

etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, or bzr repository. It hooks into apt (and other package managers) to automatically commit changes made to /etc during ... [More] package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that revison control systems do not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if you understand the basics of working with revision control. [Less]
