The following patch implements a filesystem driver which provides the ability
to mashup exisiting files in creative ways in-order to create new files.
Think of it as a way to union files; not filesystems.
Its a prototype idea with a prototype implementation. Tested and working on
3.0.9-rc1. I have included Documentation file which details the idea with
examples and possible applications.
Any suggestions/ideas to make this useful and generally applicable is very much
appreciated!

+File Mash Filesystem
+---------------
+Contents:
+ 1) Overview
+ 2) How to use it?
+ 3) Features
+ 4) Format of mount option
+ 5) Practical examples
+ 6) Nice to have capabilities
+ 7) FAQ
+
+
+1) Overview
+-----------
+
+Consider the following situation:
+
+a) You have a large file that needs to be expanded but you are running out of
+space on that filesystem. For muliple reasons you do not have the capability
+to expand the filesystem. You either have to move the file to a bigger
+filesystem or cleanup space on the current filesystem. What if you had the
+capability to expand the file to another filesystem?
+
+b) You have a large file whose contents change every day by a few bytes. An
+incremental backup of the filesystem; everyday using rsync, will end up making
+copies of the large file everytime. Instead; if your large file was mashedup
+using multiple smaller files, an incremental backup of the filesystem will
+just backup the smaller files that have changed; thus saving lots of backup
+space.
+
+c) Large files; imagine virtual disk images, that have some sections that
+hardly change, some sections that have significant i/o activity, and some
+sections that need redundancy. This need can be met if there is a way
+to mashup the file using smaller files residing on filesystem appropriate
+to the need.
+
+d) Imagine multiple files containing data which is mostly common. In such case
+storage space is unnecessary wasted. What if there was a way to separate out
+the common data into a file and use that file to mashup each of the files?
+Data can be deduplicated saving lots of storage space.
+
+e) Imagine a script file which for whatever reason cannot be modified, but
+needs to be fixed to make it usable. What if there was way to temporarily
+patch that script without actually modifying the script?
+
+f) <fill in more applications>
+
+FileMash filesystem is an attempt to provide the ability to mash-up a new
+file using multiple existing files in creative ways.
+
+It is currently implemented as a filesystem driver that stacks on top of other
+filesystem drivers. It provides the capability to create the illusion of a new
+file by using the space provided by the sub-ordinate files residing on other
+filesystems.
+
+In other words, it provides unioning capability -- the capability to union
+files, not filesystems.
+
+
+2) How to use it?
+------------------
+
+Apply the patch. This patch has been prototyped/tested on 3.0.9-rc1.

+
+2) Features
+-----------
+
+FileMash filesystem provides two features currently.
+
+a) Striping
+b) Concatenation
+
+If the data needs to striped evenly across all the subordinate files, striping
+option helps do that. In the above example layout=stripe:5 is used. It tells
+the filesystem to use first 5 bytes from the first file, the second 5 bytes
+from the second file, the third 5 bytes from the first file, and so on an so
+forth till the first and the second file have no more data to offer.
+
+If the data needs to concatenated using all the subordinate files, concat
+option is your choice. In the above example layout=concat is used. It tells
+the filesystem to use all the available bytes in the first file and then
+proceed to use all the available bytes in the second file.
+
+The area of the subordinate file to be used can be specified on the command
+line. This will ensure that only the specified area is used by the mashed file
+and thus cannot cross the boundaries of that sub-ordinate file.
+
+$ mount -t filemashfs -ofile=file_odd:10:20,file=file_even,layout=concat s file_concat
+
+This command specifies that file_odd from byte 10 to the next 20bytes must
+be used. The sub-ordinate file cannot not be expanded by writing additional
+data to the mashedup file.
+
+
+3) Format of the mount option
+--------------------------
+
+ The format of the mount option is as follows
+
+ -o (file=filename:[offset]:[length],)*,layout=<stripe:size|concat>,.....
+
+ The file keyword specifies the name of the sub-ordinate file to be used
+ for mashup. The 'offset' specifies the location from which the file can
+ be used for read/write. The 'length' specifies the size of the file, starting
+ from the 'offset' location, to be used for read/write. If 'offset' is not
+ specified the file is used from its zeroth byte. if 'length' is not
+ specified the file is assumed to have infinite size, limited only by
+ the size of the filesystem on which it resides.
+
+ Multile files can be specified. The order in which files are specified is
+ significant, since it dictates the order in which the mashed-up file will
+ map its contents to the underlying sub-ordinate files.
+
+ The layout keyword specifies the file mashup policy. Currently it supports
+ stripe or concat policy. The layout defaults to concat policy. The 'stripe'
+ keyword takes an addition option which specifies the length of the stripe.
+
+
+$ mount -t filemashfs -ofile=file_even,file=file_odd,layout=stripe:5 \
+ s file_evenodd

+
+4) Practical examples
+----------------------
+
+a) how to create a large file spanning multiple filesystems?
+
+assuming that we have 5 differen filesystems mounted at /F1, /F2, /F3, /F4, /F5
+
+$ touch /F1/f1
+$ touch /F2/f2
+$ touch /F3/f3
+$ touch /F4/f4
+$ touch /F5/f5
+
+$ touch /mybigfile
+$ mount -t filemashfs -ofile=/F1/f1,file=/F2/f2,file=/F3/f3,file=/F4/f4,file=F5/f5,layout=stripe:10000 s /mybigfile
+
+start writing data to /mybigfile and it will continue to grow that file till
+all the space on all the filesystem is exhausted! I have not tested it yet.
+But that should work by design. Implementation; I promise, is currently buggy :).
+
+
+
+b) how do I patch a file?
+
+Assume you have a script named hello.sh
+
+$ cat hello.sh
+#/bin/bash
+echo Spanish: hola?
+echo Mandarin: ni hao ma?
+echo English: I don't know :(
+echo Hindi: aap kaise hai?
+echo Kannada: Nee Hege Iddiya?
+
+ we know that "I don't know :(" has to be "How are you?".
+ So create a file named "fix" with the correct string in it.
+
+#echo 'How are you?' > fix
+
+ And mashup a new "hello.sh" file using parts of "hello.sh" and parts of
+ "fix".
+
+#mount -t filemashfs -ofile=hello.sh:0:73,file=fix,file=hello.sh:89,layout=concat s hello.sh
+
+# cat hello.sh
+#/bin/bash
+echo Spanish: hola?
+echo Mandarin: ni hao ma?
+echo English: How are you?
+echo Hindi: aap kaise hai?
+echo Kannada: Nee Hege Iddiya?
+
+<hello.sh is now fixed!>
+
+
+c) How do I deduplicate files?
+
+ I leave this as an exercise to you :)
+
+
+6. Nice to have capabilities
+-------------------------
+
+a) Ability to add or remove a file dynamically from a mashed up file.
+
+b) ??
+
+
+7. FAQ
+-------
+
+a) Why is this not implemented using FUSE?
+
+ I do not have numbers to prove this. But I think it might be less
+ performant, given that reads/writes have to make a few trips
+ between userspace and kernel.
+
+
+b) btrfs has a feature which allows a filesystem to extended using files from
+ other filesystem using loop device. Why is this different?
+
+ That feature lets you extend filesystem using files. The proposed
+ feature lets us extend files using filesystems. The features are
+ complementary in nature.
+
+
+c) One of the application; you mentioned above, mentions deduplication. Does it
+ deduplicate automatically?
+
+ No. The current prototype code does support any
+ deduplication. It just provides the mechanism to deduplicate
+ data and consolidate filesystem space. The user has to
+ identify the files that have
+ common data, move that data into a single file and mashup
+ all the other files using this new file.
+ A userspace tool can be written to do so.
+
+

+Thanks for your interest till now!
