mkclicfs
CREATE CLIC
FILE(1) Clic FS User's Manual CREATE CLIC FILE(1)
NAME
mkclicfs - Create Clic File
SYNOPSIS
mkclicfs [-d] [-p pagesize] [-b blocksize] [-c compression] [-l logfile] [-n cores] infile outfile
DESCRIPTION
The infile is a loop image (so far only tested with ext3) that is assumed to use pages of pagesize. The outfile is the Compressed Loop
Image Container (Clic), it will contain X parts with blocksize. mkclicfs automatically discards duplicated pages, unless -d is given.
The default for the pagesize is 4096, the default for ext3
The blocksize defines how many pages are grouped together before compression. The default is 32, it is a good balance between overhead and
compression ratio.
The compression preset defines on how slow it is or how good it compresses. Compare with xz presets. -c 0 is fast and -c 9 is (very) slow -
but the compression rate varies a lot - of course depending on the data. Preset 6 is the default.
The logfile is the logfile that is generated from clicfs -l, clicfs will output the access pattern and mkclicfs will reorder the blocks so
they are in order.
The number of cores is by default taken from the system. Sometimes it's wise to not all of them though.
