We maintain a FOSS file system [1] for users of our platform. One of the challenges, as we move move functionality into the client, is dealing with our copy-on-write volume-cloning. To get implicit copy-on-write, we reference SHA512 hashes of file content. Same content, same copy.
For a next-generation design, the DHT support in GNUnet would fit our use-case well. But, I'm concerned about guaranteeing that a file is available within the sort of F2F networks we'd be setting up. Is there any way to guarantee that, aside from republishing constantly? Is there interest in support for secondary backends, like S3 (with or without encryption of the content), in order to provide arbitrarily large storage?
