Distributed file systems
I need to implement a distributed storage system for a set of nodes(devices) connected in a mesh network.
So what basically my design goals are:
- The storage system should be capable of handling dynamic entry and exit of nodes.
- Replication (for fault tolerance).
For this i am thinking of using a Distributed file system. Every node could access data in the other nodes in a transparent manner.
Are there some simple, easily pluggable opensource implementations?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Solution 1:
OpenAFS is a well supported, cross platform distributed file system solution used widely, which can do all of what you said.
Solution 2:
Ceph, when it reaches production quality, might be a good choice.
