Hello, Well it seems the OrangeFS, a really cool and easy to implement distributed File System for clusters (HPC or Containers), has finally made it into the linux kernel (4.6-rc1). [1]
This file system should benefit users, NFS admins, embedded systems, ACL, clusters, containers and HPC. I sure hope we can get some tools and guidelines into the gentoo wiki, so folks can test this enhancement of PVFS2 on a new linux kernel. The quote that caught my eye was "Painless Deployment ". Interesting. [2] Some have already been exploiting the advantages of OrangeFS for a Hi Performance Cluster [3]. enjoy, James [1] http://www.orangefs.org/ [2] http://orangefs.org/trac/orangefs/wiki/High performance user interface [3] http://www.cloudycluster.com/#intro
