 Is it really a good idea to not just one but two separate mailinglist
 for something tightly integrated with nfs anyway?  Why not just use
 linux-nfs for the small amount of additional traffic?

FedFS is agnostic to the underlying file protocol.  The current Linux FedFS 
prototype happens to be NFS-only, but we don't expect it to stay that way.

[autofs] [ANNOUNCE] fedfs-utils for Linux

2011-04-07 Thread Chuck Lever
Announcing public availability of fedfs-utils for Linux

RFC 5716 introduces the Federated File System (FedFS, for short). FedFS is an 
extensible standardized mechanism by which system administrators construct a 
coherent namespace across multiple file servers using file system referrals.

The fedfs-utils package is an implementation of the user space components 
that provide FedFS features on Linux. The package is released under GPL version 
2.

The current release is 0.6.1.  This is a very early alpha release for 
technology preview.  Administrative, programming, and command line interfaces 
will change as this package evolves, and must not be relied on.

See http://oss.oracle.com/projects/fedfs-utils for more information and source 
code downloads.  Two mailman mailing lists are also available:

  fedfs-utils-annou...@oss.oracle.com
  fedfs-utils-de...@oss.oracle.com

Future release announcements will occur only on fedfs-utils-announce.
