• [$] A distributed filesystem for archival systems: ngnfs

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat Jun 21 06:40:08 2025
    A new filesystem was the topic of a session led by Zach Brown at
    the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF). The ngnfs
    filesystem is not a "next generation" NFS, as might be guessed from the
    name; Brown said that he did not think about that linkage
    ("I hate naming so much") until it was pointed out to him by Chuck
    Lever in an email. It is, instead, a filesystem for enormous data sets
    that are mostly stored offline.
