LTFS anyone?

[David Nixon]

Have been using this file system on tape for a few years;  under SL7 and  Centos8.

Recently I adjusted  HPE's LTFS implementation to build  under Rocky 9.5.  This being required because of  the move to version 3 of the Fuse library interface. 

'ltfs'  seems to work as before., but I haven't yet used it for any large scale archivals.   Just wondering if anyone else has tried LTFS  on Fuse3 or if HPE themseleves still work on the code ?

HPE StoreOpen LTFS is supported on the following platform. 

• Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022

• Windows 10 (x86_64)

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.x and 8.x (64-bit)

• macOS 10.12 through 11.5

But not tested on the OS which you are using. It may or may not work. Since this is not tested. We will not be able to comment on it. However, if all the dependencies/pre-req are met. Then i am sure it should work. Attaching the Release notes/download link for your information.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the status update on the HPE 3.5.0  distribution of LTFS.   The release notes are interesting.

To clarify: I  had to modify the 3.4.2  source in order to build to build with Fuse3 under Rocky Linux  9.
