SpadFS is a new filesystem that I design and develop as my PhD thesis. It is an attempt to bring features of advanced filesystems (crash recovery, fast directories) and good performance without increasing code complexity too much. Uses crash counts instead of journaling (because journaling is too complex and bug-prone) and uses hash instead of btrees for directory organization.

Citation :

Features:  
New method to maintain consistency across crashes --- crash counts.  
48-bit sector numbers. Supports device size up to 144PB.  
Variable block size from 512 bytes to machine page size. Due to design of Linux page cache, small blocksize increases CPU consumption considerably.  
Large directories are organized in a similar way as Fagin's extendible hashing. Does not use btrees.  
Files are embedded directly in directory structure (unless hardlink is created). Thus, ls -la command doesn't have to seek to inodes.  
Free space is described in lists of extents rather than bitmaps like in most common filesystem. If a filesystem becomes too fragmented, list of free extents is converted to bitmap.

Ok, not having actually tested any of this, I only have a few comments on  
the source code:
 
 - the source tree layout is very confusing. Can you please separate the  
   mkfs/fsck parts more clearly from the kernel driver parts?
 
 - you have a _very_ confusing usage of upper-case. Not only are a lot of  
   functions upper-case, some filenames are also upper-case. What would  
   otherwise be more readable just ends up being hard to read because it's  
   so odd and unexpected.
 
   I'm sure there is some logic to it, but it escapes me.
 
 - your whitespace usage needs some work: please put empty lines between  
   the declarations and the code in a function, and since you use a fair  
   amount of "goto"s, please do NOT indent them into the code (it's almost  
   impossible to pick out the target labels because you hide them with the  
   code).
 
 - your whitespace, part 2: you have a fair number of one-liner  
   if-statements, where again there is no indentation, and thus the flow  
   is almost impossible to see. Don't wrote
 
 if (somecomplexconditional) return;
   but please instead write
 
 if (somecomplexcondifional)
  return;
   and perhaps use a few more empty lines to separate out the "paragraphs"  
   of code (the same way you write email - nobody wants to see one solid  
   block of code, you'd prefer to see "logical sections" ).  
   Here's a prime example of what NOT to do:
 
 if (__likely(!(((*c)[1] - 1) & (*c)[1]))) (*c)[0] = key;
   I dare anybody to be able to read that. That wasn't even the worst one:  
   some of those if-statements were so long that you couldn't even _see_  
   what the statement inside the if-statement even was (and I don't use a  
   80-column wide terminal, this was in a 112-column xterm)
 
 - why use "__d_off" etc hard-to-read types? You seem to have typedef'ed  
   it from sector_t, but you use a harder-to-read name than the original  
   type was. Hmm?  
 
 - you have a few comments, but you could have a lot more explanation,  
   especially since not all of your names are all that self-explanatory.
 
Ok, with that out of the way, let's say what I _like_ about it:
 
 - it's fairly small
 
 - the code, while having the above problems, looks generally fairly  
   clean. The whitespace issues get partially cleared by just running  
   "Lindent" on it, although that's not perfect either (it still indents  
   the goto target labels too much, although it at least makes them  
   _visible_. But it won't add empty lines to delineate sections, of  
   course, and it doesn't add comments ;^)
 
 - I like a lot of the notions, and damn, small and simple are both  
   virtues on their own.
 
So if you could make the code easier to read, and were to do some  
benchmarking to show what it's good at and what the problems are, I think  
you'd find people looking at it. It doesn't look horrible to me.

C'est sympas de voir l'interaction entre dev's.
