Uup OS - File System


Uup OS will likely use BFS/OBFS as its primary boot file system. All other major file systems (HFS+, NTFS, FAT32, XFS, UFS, etc...) will hopefully be supported on non-boot volumes.

BackUp Although the architecture is not yet defined, it will be possible to mark files and boxes for distributed network backup. The files related to this storage system will be placed in /System/Distributed Services/Backup/.
