This is an implementation of the RBF file system for Linux.
RBF is the native file system of the OS-9/OS-9000 real-time operating system from Microware Systems Corp (now Radisys).
It is a very simple tree-structured file system missing many of the features of other Unix file systems such as hard and soft links, device special files, SUID bits etc. You probably wouldn't want to use it unless you already have data on RBF formatted disks that you want to access from Linux, or you want to share data with an OS-9/OS-9000 system.
But if like me you fall into that category, this software may be of some use to you.
Here are links to source patches & precompiled modules
for various kernels for i386 and m68k. Kernel sources for i386 can be
downloaded from www.kernel.org.
After applying the patch some documentation will be found in the source
tree under Documentation/filesystems/rbf.txt.

News
I currently have little or no time to maintain this module.
Carsten Emde has ported LinuxRBF to the 2.6 kernel and his latest version can be found here
