A decentralized file synchronization tool
Štědronský, Filip ; Mareš, Martin (advisor) ; Hušek, Radek (referee)
We explore the problem of file synchronization, with the goal of improving on the efficiency, scalability, robustness, flexibility and security of current file synchronization tools. We solve several important subproblems that may help this, especially in the areas of filesystem change detection (both online and offline) and peer-to-peer synchronization of file metadata. We show techniques to make scanning a file system for changes faster and more reliable. We extend the Linux kernel's 'fanotify' filesystem change notification API to report more events, especially renames. We present several original solutions to the set reconciliation problem and its variants and apply them to metadata synchronization. 1
