  3. …as storage, for example sqlite, might be a good idea. That’s exactly what I did in ZboxFS ( https://github.com/zboxfs/zbox ) which can use sqlite as a underlying storage to achieve ACID compatible behaviours.

  4. I am using Rust building a privacy focused in-app file system ZboxFS( https://github.com/zboxfs/zbox ). The fun part is not only joyfulness Rust bring to me, but also learned a lot about cryptography, file system, transaction control and…

  5. …deal with. Many filesystems are able to use DB as back-end, I also made a filesystem ZboxFS ( https://github.com/zboxfs/zbox ) which can also use sqlite as underlying storage.

  7. …and the update chunk index list in file. This approach is already implemented in ZboxFS ( https://github.com/zboxfs/zbox ) to do content-based deduplication.
