    [$] A FUSE implementation for famfs

    Date:

    Description:
    The famfs filesystem is meant to provide a shared-memory filesystem for large data
    sets that are accessed for computations by multiple systems. It was
    developed by John Groves, who led a combined filesystem and
    memory-management session at
    the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory
    Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) to discuss it. The session was a follow-up to the famfs session at last year's
    summit , but it was also meant to discuss whether the kernel's direct-access (DAX)
    mechanism, which is used by famfs, could be replaced in the filesystem
    by using other kernel features.
