[News] New Linux Filesystem Fascilitates Distributed Storage

Cleversafe Launches DSGrid File System

,----[ Quote ]
| The Cleversafe project, developers of the world's first open source 
| Dispersed Storage software, has launched a new open source project, called 
| the DSGrid File System (dsgfs), to allow a dispersed storage grid to appear 
| as a mountable file system for Linux-based software applications.
| 
| [...]
| 
| ...Using the dsgfs, users will be able to seamlessly store data on
| the Cleversafe Research Storage Grid, on a commercial grid or on a grid
| they build themselves. dsgfs initially will support various versions
| of Linux, including Debian, Fedora and CentOS.
| 
| "This new project means that most Linux-based applications will now be
| able to seamlessly take advantage of the benefits of dispersed storage,
| which include security, reliability and privacy,? said John Quigley,
| dsgfs project lead. "Cleversafe is inviting organizations and individualst
| o freely participate in the project."

I suspect that Google'e GFS achieves the same thing, but is not available to
the public.
