====================================================================== TOP STORIES ====================================================================== CEPH: THE DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM CREATURE FROM THE OBJECT LAGOON Did you ever see one of those terrible Sci-Fi movies involving a killer Octopus? Ceph, while named after just such a animal, is not a creature about to eat an unlucky Spring Breaker, but a new parallel distributed file system.
