Talk:SemFS

We have move() but no copy(), because Fuse-J has no copy.

Our streams have a different semantics than Java streams: We use the offset within the stream, not within the buffer. Reason: Fuse-j.

How to handle a put?

• WebDAV PUT = createFile / open / write / close
• createFile must check if the file with the given local name exists already
  • if yes:
    • if same path:
      • overwrite content
    • if different path:
      • compare contents, if same content: retag
      • else: create new resource with unique local name
  • if not: fine.

Disambiguation happens within the local filename, i.e. paper.pdf becomes paper.<hash>.pdf. Further all files, regardless of the tagging, are available under root / or (of configured properly) some other folder /special.all/.

SemFS is likely to offer a web service interface to query the tag information about it's files.
