Hello, |

Well it seems the OrangeFS, a really cool and easy to implement distributed |
| 4 |
File System for clusters (HPC or Containers), has finally made it into the |
| 5 |
linux kernel (4.6-rc1). [1] |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This file system should benefit users, NFS admins, embedded systems, ACL, |
| 9 |
clusters, containers and HPC. I sure hope we can get some tools and |
| 10 |
guidelines into the gentoo wiki, so folks can test this enhancement of |
| 11 |
PVFS2 on a new linux kernel. The quote that caught my eye was |
| 12 |
"Painless Deployment ". Interesting. [2] |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Some have already been exploiting the advantages of OrangeFS for a Hi |
| 15 |
Performance Cluster [3]. |

enjoy, |
