Merge tag 'ofs-pull-tag-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux
Pull orangefs filesystem from Mike Marshall.
This finally merges the long-pending orangefs filesystem, which has been
much cleaned up with input from Al Viro over the last six months. From
the documentation file:
"OrangeFS is an LGPL userspace scale-out parallel storage system. It
is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, BigData, Streaming
Video, Genomics, Bioinformatics.
Orangefs, originally called PVFS, was first developed in 1993 by Walt
Ligon and Eric Blumer as a parallel file system for Parallel Virtual
Machine (PVM) as part of a NASA grant to study the I/O patterns of
parallel programs.
Orangefs features include:
- Distributes file data among multiple file servers
- Supports simultaneous access by multiple clients
- Stores file data and metadata on servers using local file system
and access methods
- Userspace implementation is easy to install and maintain
- Direct MPI support
- Stateless"
see Documentation/filesystems/orangefs.txt for more in-depth details.
