Subj : [$] A distributed filesystem for archival systems: ngnfs To : All From : LWN.net Date : Sat Jun 21 2025 06:40:08 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. https://lwn.net/Articles/1025650/ --- SBBSecho 3.28-Linux * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (86:200/23) .
