Bug#539997: RFP: pohmelfs -- Parallel Optimized Host Message Exchange Layered File System client and server



Description     : Parallel Optimized Host Message Exchange Layered File System client and server

POHMELFS (Parallel Optimized Host Message Exchange Layered File System)
is an asynchronous cache coherent distributed file system developed by
Russian Linux hacker Evgeniy Polyakov. The current implementation could
be seen as a smart and fast replacement of the widely used Network File
System (NFS) protocol (which is used to share filesystems between
networked computers), with the possibility to use parallelized
connections to speed up the transfers, and the design roadmap plans to
converge it towards a true distributed filesystem with good scalability,
strong fault tolerance and caching.

It was announced on January 31st, 2008, and merged into the mainline
Linux kernel version 2.6.30, released June 9th, 2009. It is named after
the Russian похмелье (pohmel'e) meaning hangover.
