• HOWTO

So how do I get started on LogFS?

If you are used to compile your own kernel, please proceed. If you don't know what a kernel is, you almost certainly don't want to try out LogFS.

• Create a LogFS-capable kernel
  Clone the git tree on kernel.org.

• Configure, compile and install the kernel as usual.
• Boot the new kernel.

• [Optional] Create an MTD device.
  If you don't know what an MTD device is, please take a look at infradead.org.

• Clone mklogfs.
  

• Compile mklogfs

• Create a new filesystem
  $ mklogfs /dev/mtd0
  $ mklogfs /dev/sdb
  $ mklogfs logfs.image
  Mklogfs work on either mtdchar devices, block devices or regular files. The latter is useful for qemu disk images, for example.

• Mount the filesystem.
  For MTD use a command line like this one:
  $ mount mtd0 /mnt -t logfs
  Or the equivalent for a block device:
  $ mount /dev/hdb /mnt -t logfs
