Hi.
I'm pleased to announce POHMEL high performance network parallel
distributed filesystem.
POHMELFS stands for Parallel Optimized Host Message Exchange Layered File System.
Development status can be tracked in filesystem section [1].
This is a high performance network filesystem with local coherent cache of data
and metadata. Its main goal is distributed parallel processing of data.
This release brings following features:
* Read requests (data read, directory listing, lookup requests) balancing
between multiple servers.
* Write requests are sent to multiple servers and completed only
when all of them sent an ack.
* Ability to add and/or remove servers from working set at run-time from
userspace (via netlink, so the same command can be processed from
real network though, but since server does not support it yet,
I dropped network part).
* Documentation (overall view and protocol commands)!
* Rename command (oops, forgot it in previous releases :)
* Several new mount options to control client behaviour instead of
hardcoded numbers.
* Bug fixes.
