Project description: I'm designing a custom filesystem with compression, error correction (with mirroring) & encryption.

The aim of the project is to have a filesystem with these features while remaining considerably simpler & easier to use than ZFS, btrfs etc. In particular, I aim to make it easy to use with removable media as I got a bunch of old drives that I don't want to have powered on 24/7.

I'm looking for people willing to test the filesystem. While the filesystem appears stable I believe more issues may pop up when used for long-term storage (e.g. backups). With more people using it I hope to find these issues quicker.

There are currently only (FUSE & tool/"mkfs") binaries for Linux[1]. If you want to test it but don't have a Linux installation, please let me know and I'll see if I can create a build for your OS.

Contact info: hn+nrfs@demindiro.com or on Github.

P.S.: Using a block size other than 12 is currently broken, so don't adjust that parameter when creating a filesystem.
