1. Comment - IBM Builds Super Fast File System

   this is very cool technology. sounds a bit like the already existing/proven google filesystem. not something to compare with m$ ntfs, you near sighted idiots (go apply some updates or something). this is something i'd suspect that has no relevence to home users. this thing sits on top of a cluster of aix or linux nodes (as cleary described in the article). this is cool because i.t. departments potentially could have a google filesystem right in their very own data center without having to invent it themselves. i wonder what the client requirements are, what do the underlying protocols look like, network or san centric?,?, etc.. this is obviously distributed, is it redundant, are there advanced features like snapshots, versioning, integrity/corruption, concurrency? i wonder, how in the heck do you back something like this up at night? hi over there at llnl :-)
