Just added some new diagrams to describe the internals of the thi.ng/block-fs block storage & filesystem (incl. some examples) and also added/updated CLI tooling docs...

#ReleaseWednesday Just pushed a new version of thi.ng/block-fs, now with additional multi-command CLI tooling to convert & bundle a local file system tree into a single block-based binary blob (e.g. for bundling assets, or distributing a virtual filesystem as part of a web app, or for snapshot testing, or as bridge for WASM interop etc.)

Also new, the main API now includes a `.readAsObjectURL()` method to wrap files as URLs to binary blobs with associated MIME types, thereby making it trivial to use the virtual filesystem for sourcing stored images and other assets for direct use in the browser...

(Ps. For more context see other recent announcement: mastodon.thi.ng/@toxi/11426498)

#ThingUmbrella #ReleaseTuesday... New package (initial alpha release):

thi.ng/block-fs provides highly customizable & extensible block-based storage with an optional hierarchical filesystem layer. This is useful everywhere you might need virtual filesystem, though the storage providers can also be used without the filesystem layer (e.g. for #Forth-style block data/editors).

The default configuration provides:

- arbitrarily nested directories
- filenames (UTF-8) of max. 31 bytes per directory level
- max. 32 owner IDs
- file locking
- creation/modification timestamps (64 bit)
- efficient append writes

Currently included storage providers: TypedArray-based in-memory and host filesystem based file storage (one block per file). More are planned (e.g. IndexedDB, remote endpoint)...

The readme is currently still lacking various diagrams to illustrate the filesystem internals. I will add those ASAP...

My server has secondary block storage from the hosting provider, which contains a BTRFS file system - e-mail, Git repositories, and so forth. This morning, processes attempting to access the file system could not be terminated (even with kill -9), and the file system couldn't be mounted after a reboot.
At first I suspected BTRFS file system corruption. While attempting to create a backup image of the file system with the dd command, though, I found that I could only read approximately the first 16MB of data from the block device. This explained the file system errors, of course. As I was working on this, the problem suddenly went away.
I assume the issue was in the provider's infrastructure, and they fixed it.
After service was restored, btrfs check showed no file system errors at all, so now everything appears to be running normally.

I'm planning my escape from iCloud. Any recommendations for storage that dont mine data or use it for machine learning? Affordable is also great! #iCloud #ethical #cloudstorage #privacy #blockstorage ? Please boost to give me more response as I think there are more mastodonians with the same question.

@meka about two months ago or so you wrote that you were investigating #DistributedFileSystem solutions for #FreeBSD.
Are there any results you can share?

We are happily using #minio for #ObjectStorage but we have not yet found a good #BlockStorage solution…

@matt do you have any good resources for configuring #blockstorage?

Or, where are the #mastoadmin hanging out for answering questions? 🙂

@abnv @alexelcu similar experience here. Disk space is the big challenge. I’ve hit 100% disk space usage on my 80GB VPS several times even with some very aggressive cache retention policies (1 day). In summary, #relays are a key cause of that (introducing you to many more remote servers) and #blockstorage appears to be the most cost effective solution. #mastoadmin
