HISTORY
A
mount_chfs utility appeared in
NetBSD
6.0. CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development. The name
was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name.
AUTHORS
CHFS was developed at the
Department of Software Engineering,
University of Szeged, Hungary.
BUGS
CHFS has a few known bugs as of 2011. Writing the FS full can cause problems.
Truncating a file and growing it again can cause the new bytes not having all
zeroes, but filled with the old content instead.
