Hi,
We have a lab (Debian+Ubuntu Comps) and we want a very basic
Distributed Files System.
The requirements should be:-
1) Should connect all comps as one huge files system ( or at least a
part of it, for e.g ~/Users folder in all computers). May have a
single server daemon running and multiple client services (or some
other combination)
2) Prefer using native 'cp' 'mv' 'rm' commands. For e.g Tahoe-LAFS had
its own complex set of `tahoe add` commands which were difficult to
use and supported less flags {And no, alias did not make it any easier
to use}
3) Should be "dropbox-like" in functionality. Drag-Drop using nautilus
should be supported since most of the users are not very experienced.
4) Windows support is of low priority, but added advantage.
5) Least data redundancy ( and wastage of disk space)
There were a huge number of distributed file systems listed on
wikipedia, and I prefer to get your opinions instead. Especially from
people with prior experience in this regard.
Thanking you in advance!
