A new website of MooseFS launched

We are proud to present our new website! Made from scratch with a completely new design and even new logo.

 

You will find a complete and revised documentation for 1.6 branch. There are man pages available for download and a roadmap presenting plans for MooseFS development. We also introduced a FAQ section which includes answers to most popular questions we receive from you.

 

We decided to run a website as a blog where we would be posting more information about the project, the team, and we would also like to show descriptions of your system implementations here.

 

And I would like to thank you all for your open spirit and commitment to the project. It is thanks to you that the project is growing and developing. It is your questions and suggestions which make us tick. We started a section of user contributed files where we'd like to put more scripts and improvements to the system provided by you.

 

Please have a look around and let us know what you think! Any and all feedback is welcome.

 

 

Best regards

MooseFS Team

%description

MooseFS is a fault tolerant, network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS acts as other Unix-alike file systems. It has a hierarchical structure (directory tree), stores file attributes (permissions, last access and modification times) as well as makes it possible to create special files (block and character devices, pipes and sockets), symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not necessarily on MooseFS) and hard links (different names of files which refer to the same data on MooseFS). Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address and/or password.
Distinctive features of MooseFS are:

higher reliability (data can be stored in several copies on separate computers)
dynamically expanding disk space by attaching new computers/disks
possibility of storing deleted files for a defined period of time ("trash bin" service on a file system level)
possibility of creating snapshots of files, which means coherent copies of the whole file, even while the file is being written/accessed.
