Wow, this will do everything we ever dreamed of in a storage system...
====================================================================== 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. The client portion of Ceph just went into the 2.6.34 kernel so learn a bit more about it. http://www.elabs7.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=ax0v,l3w4,33o,1d9t,1q12,d806,8gy6

Impressive. It even goes one step beyond Lustre with it's distributed meta-data component and (opt-in) bending the rules on POSIX-I/O (for performance).
I hope to see this tested out beyond the labs that created it.
