Garzik's various Linux projects
Menu:
Main project
- Linux kernel. Mostly SATA driver and network driver work, but dabble in other areas.
Completed projects
These projects are considered to be feature-complete. Although actively maintained (contributions welcome!) and production ready, I do not plan any large additions or code upheavels for these projects.
- cgicache: Provides an easy and highly efficient method of caching the results of any CGI program's output. (repo, git browser)
- ethtool: Network device management, configuration tool. (home, repo, git browser) This is permits an admin to configure various hardware-specific details on their ethernet NIC.
- glib-app-skeleton: GIT repository of a skeleton GLib application with autoconf/automake configuration already set up. (repo, git browser)
- rng-tools: Hardware RNG entropy daemon, tools. (home, repo, git browser)
On-going projects
These projects are being actively developed. Their status is generally "beta": usable, but probably needs tuning, optimizing, standard security features, etc.
- bitcoin - a unique, distributed currency experiment.
- blktool: Block device management, configuration tool. (home, repo, git browser) This is intended to be the blkdev complement of ethtool, permitting an admin to configure various hardware-specific details on their block device, or host controller.
- dvdns: Authoritative DNS server, with SQlite backend. (repo, git browser) Like djbdns, this server is intended to be a small, fast, authoritative-only server. Most common RRs are supported.
Distributed computing
- See Project hail.
- nfs4d: NFSv4 server daemon, serving file data directly from POSIX local filesystems (and Berkeley DB4). Status: single-node working, not yet distributed.
- paxreg: An implementation of the crash-resistant Paxos algorithm, using the paxos register form recently introduced. (C source)
- storaged: Single-node data storage service, meant to be used as a building block for larger distributed storage services. Uses HTTP REST network protocol.
- trouter: A distributed hash table router for the TANGLE protocol. (home, repo, git browser)
Unpolished works-in-progress
This software is use-at-your-own-risk software. It is likely that this software will not work, and is just a rough draft.
- dbfs: Local filesystem with POSIX semantics, implemented using Berkeley DB 4 over FUSE. (home, repo, git browser)
- posixutils: POSIX-compliant replacement for GNU coreutils. (home, repo, git browser)
Archived software
This software is no longer being actively developed, but is archived in case it will be of use to others.
- ext2meta: kernel module used for online ext2 defragmenting and other online metadata access. (C source)
- fuse-ext2: FUSE implementation of ext2, using e2fsprogs library. Unfinished, read-only code. Someone on linux-fsdevel has a much more complete implementation. (repo, git browser)
- ot_100.zip: OS2TERM v1.00, one of the earliest programming examples of mine that I can find on the 'net.
