From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Queue-based file system for cache (lemmy.zip)

I can't seem to find anything like it, neither as a Fuse fs. Is there really no file system, that just evicts the oldest entries once it's full? I mean, it could be a simple queue.

This would have been the ideal tool for cache; no bothering with size limits and background daemons.

Not 100% on what 'stack-based' means here, but if 'stacking' = 'tiering', you could use a normal filesystem like bcachefs that have tiered storage ?

You can declare different tier devices for speed, availability or what you prefer, and have different compression, managed cache, auto-move hot data from cold storage, cold data to cold storage, and what not..

However, I've never actually tried it, so I'm likely exaggerating the possibilities. I think ZFS have tiering too, but maybe a filesystem specialist can chime in with some advice.

Alternatively, if it doesn't bother you, it could be a great task for a sota ai, to help/create/setup a simple fuse fs for your needs.
