Line 25:
* [[NILFS]] is a log-structured file system implementation for [[Linux]] by [[NTT/Verio]] which supports snapshots. It is still in [[development stage]] and not ready for production use.
* [[LogFS]] and [[LinLogFS]] are names used for various Linux log-structured file system implementations, the latest one written for [[Google Summer of Code 2005]], however all of these projects were cancelled.
* [[Reiser4]] calls the concept "wandering log". It has no support for snapshotting.
* [[ZFS]] from [[Sun Microsystems|Sun]] is a log-structured file system which supports snapshotting. However, it uses [[reference-counting]] instead of [[garbage collection (computer science)|garbage collection]] to manage free space.
