SolFS: An Operation-Log Versioning File System for Hash-free Efficient Mobile...
summary
SolFS implements an operation-log versioning file system that records each write as per-file mergeable operation logs (offset+length stored in an extent tree), persists compacted logs and maintains version chains so backup clients ask for a version number and receive precise modified ranges without hashing. Implementation adds dynamic granularity for space/accuracy tradeoffs and a compact on-disk format. Evaluation shows hash-free delta identification reduces CPU on client/server by over 90% on average and cuts total sync time by ~88.8%, with only ~6% write throughput loss and ~500 KB extra memory.
