fsys 1.1.0

Filesystem IO for Rust storage engines: journal substrate, io_uring, NVMe passthrough, atomic writes, cross-platform durability.
Documentation
//! # Journal substrate — high-throughput append-only durable log
//!
//! The journal is the WAL/append primitive that databases,
//! queues, and ledgers should use for high-throughput durable
//! writes. Unlike `Handle::write` (atomic-replace, 5–7 syscalls
//! per call, fsync per call → ~500 ops/s), the journal:
//!
//! - Opens once.
//! - Supports concurrent appends without per-call fsync.
//! - Group-commits durability via `sync_through(lsn)`.
//!
//! This example demonstrates the canonical "append many records,
//! sync at a transaction boundary" pattern and shows the
//! throughput delta vs atomic-replace at the same workload.
//!
//! Run: `cargo run --example 17_journal_basics --release`
