Maybe i missed it but you don't talk at all about security of the FS and i guess that this is a very important topic for a FS that it's going to work over the internet and be connected to insecure hosts. Eg: What if i want to share a file with you, but i don't want anyone else on the cluster to be able to read or modify it? -- La prueba más fehaciente de que existe vida inteligente en otros planetas, es que no han intentado contactar con nosotros.
