A userland-level raid type solution. This might have replaced my use of rsync, which can only be good.

2011-07-10 – 1.0.0 beta on Unity Linux, an alpha pre-release
2011-07-10 – 1.0.0 beta ∞
I probably tested 1.0.0, but possibly 1.1.1 beta.
Oh, it looks like I cannot use chironfs to take an existing partition and clone it to another. I can’t figure out how to do this simple thing.
Also, it doesn’t do rebuilding if one of the targets goes down, which is exactly what I want.
Damn.
Installation ∞
\smart install \ libfuse-devel ./configure \make \make install
Usage ∞
Preparing:
\mkdir -p /tmp/chiron \cd /tmp/chiron \mkdir source dest mountpoint
Mounting, relative paths:
chironfs source=dest mountpoint
Labelling it so it appears differently in du:
chironfs --fsname chiron source=dest mountpoint
Mounting, absolute paths:
chironfs /tmp/chiron/source=/tmp/chiron/dest /tmp/chiron/mountpoint
Unmounting
fusermount -u /tmp/chiron/mountpoint
I had some issues with leftover mounts hanging around even after the fusermount -u /path/to/mountpoint. As root I was able to do a umount /path/to/mountpoint and it cleaned things up nicely.
Preceed items with a colon if it is slow.
chironfs source=:dest mountpoint
