Bug#419924: ITP: glusterfs -- A powerful network/cluster filesystem

[Junichi Uekawa <dancer@netfort.gr.jp>]

Hi,

> GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several
> peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA
> or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system.
> GlusterFS is one of the most sophisticated file system in terms of
> features and extensibility. It borrows a powerful concept called
> Translators from GNU Hurd kernel. Much of the code in GlusterFS is in
> userspace and easily manageable.

The description sounds a bit too aggressive, considering that this is
the first time I've heard of it.

It might be more helpful if the description will aid in the use-case
(how many nodes, what are the interconnects, what kind of storage
connection it requires, kernel patches?) rather than the technical
details.



regards,
