Script error: No such module "AfC topic".The Usable File System (ufs), is a simple, Open source, filesystem developed by Xeno333. It was origanaly published on the osdev.org forum[1]. It was created to be a simple filesystem for use by OS developers, back in 2022 but was not released until 2024[1]. The full specification was put on GitHub[2], Medium[3] and on Xeno333's publishing site hosted on Tor at the tor adress: lk7bjcs33czqkalf6b2xwo73rhtivrstc6wasjrtjpsuihzoucp7ljad.onion/pdfs/UFS_v1.0_Spec.pdf
The author has chosen to call it ufs (lowercase) as not to conflict with the Unix File System[1]. It was published and licensed under the MIT license[2][1]
The ufs v1 filesystem is designed to be a simple filesystem, yet more capible than FAT, with 64 bit block representation, insted of FAT32's limit of 28 bit.
Versions[edit]
As of this writting there is only one version of ufs, but the developr did imply there may be future improvments, such as journaling.[1]
