wtf is this? :confused:

don't just post links.. give us some details!

the explanation kinda reminds me of bittorrent, except the other way around. it looks like it's a way to spread out your file to multiple different spots. i could be way off base though.

Hence my post for clarification :D


The goal of this project is to provide a system for storing and retrieving huge amounts of data, distributed among a large number of heterogenous server nodes, under a single virtual filesystem tree with a variety of standard access methods. Depending on the Persistency Model, dCache provides methods for exchanging data with backend (tertiary) Storage Systems as well as space management, pool attraction, dataset replication, hot spot determination and recovery from disk or node failures. Connected to a tertiary storage system, the cache simulates unlimited direct access storage space. Dataexchanges to and from the underlying HSM are performed automatically and invisibly to the user. Filesystem namespace operations may be performed through a standard nfs(2) interface.

Reading this babble requires too much effort, lol

Yes, but my point is all of your posts are RTFM posts, when most people are here to "RTFBoard" :upsidedown:

Anyways, cool looking project.
