README.file_io

To use the file_io backend instead of tokyocabinet to store the data
change lessfs.cfg so that it includes these lines.

Comment these lines out:
#BLOCKDATA_PATH=/data/dta
#BLOCKDATA_BS=1048576

Add to lessfs.cfg
BLOCKDATA_IO_TYPE=file_io
BLOCKDATA_PATH=/data/dta/blockdata.dta
# The freelist database is only used
# with the  file_io backend
#
FREELIST_PATH=/data/mta
FREELIST_BS=1048576

Lessfs will now store the data in the regular file : blockdata.dta

The freelist database is used for keeping track of deleted data
blocks. When a file is deleted the blocks in blockdata.dta that are
no longer used will end up in the freelist database. When lessfs
needs datablocks to store data it will first search in the freelist
if there is space available. The 'deleted' space will therefore be 
reused. The data file will never shrink though!

The file_io backend has similar performance as the tokyocabinet
database. It will outperform the tc backend when very large files are
stored and the amount of memory is insufficient to have enough tc buffers.
BLOCKDATA_PATH may point to a raw device although this is not recommended (yet).
