README

fakedatafs is a file system that generates fake data on demand in a deterministic way. It is implemented as a FUSE module and can be used to test backup software.

Build fakedatafs

Install Go/Golang (at least version 1.3), then run go run build.go, afterwards you'll find the binary in the current directory:

$ go run build.go

$ ./fakedatafs /mnt/dir
filesystem mounted at /mnt/dir

$ ls -al /mnt/dir
total 5078
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  15327 Aug 30  1754 file-121872730593067849
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  89978 Aug 30  1754 file-1269644873002022781
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    879 Aug 30  1754 file-1403895313298597120

At the moment, the only tested compiler for restic is the official Go compiler. Building restic with gccgo may work, but is not supported.
