The
famfs
filesystem is meant to provide a shared-memory filesystem for large data
sets that are accessed for computations by multiple systems. It was
developed by John Groves, who led a combined filesystem and
memory-management session at
the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory
Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) to discuss it. The session was a
follow-up to
the famfs session at last year's
summit, but it was also meant to discuss whether the kernel's
direct-access (DAX)
mechanism, which is used by famfs, could be replaced in the filesystem
by using other kernel features.

Scientists say the odour is down to small changes in an enzyme that prevents bad breath in humans.
