Description
Subfiles provide a way for the user to store files ”within” other files. They can be found in a variety of different file systems with a variety of limitations and use cases. Subfiles are not currently available to the NetBSD user. William Dobbins and Philip Nelson attempted to change this in 2016 by beginning a subfile implementation for NetBSD. Their progress has been built upon in this new attempt to implement subfiles by making changes to the user-land, kernel and Fast File System. The success of the project has been proven by rigorous testing, yet there are still things that need to happen to make full integration a reality.
