Wrapfs is useful for several reasons. First, as a platform to test and debug generic stacking problems in other Linux stackable file systems. Second, as a way to test VFS enhancements to better support stacking in Linux. Third, many people like to experiment with in-kernel file system ideas as a prototype; Wrapfs is an ideal small template from which one could modify the code to create new functionality. Fourth, Wrapfs is a very useful teaching tool (often used as a starting point for graduate class assignments).
For example, to clone the latest Wrapfs git repository, issue this command:
