The EROFS read-only file-system started by Huawei and now maintained by a growing number of contributors continues attracting even more interest. EROFS has exhibited much potential for mobile devices as well as container use-cases while proving itself to be quite robust since its mainlining back in 2019.
Merged today as part of the EROFS fixes for Linux 6.18 kernel ahead of this weekend’s Linux 6.18-rc6 is adding another EROFS code reviewer.
The pull noted that EROFS has been attracting “more eyes from interested industry vendors.”
Chunhai Guo of Chinese smartphone/tech vendor Vivo is now the latest code reviewer for EROFS.
Chunhai Guo joins the two EROFS code maintainers plus four other code reviewers from Alibaba, Google, and Huawei overseeing this modern read-only file-system.
EORFS is playing an increasing role on Linux/Android-powered smartphones and for container uses so it’s good seeing more developer eyes on the code.
