Just about a year ago, I first mentioned TidyFS, a new, small distributed file system under development by Microsoft Research. Later this week at the Usenix '11 conference, Microsoft researchers ...

In the end, my recommendation would be to stick with the distribution's default file system because it's easier, and the developers have chosen that particular file system for a reason.

I looked at some distributed file systems but it seems they are all geared towards big cloud data except maybe BlueFS/EnsemBlue, but except some papers I didn't find anything about it.

Point one already has solution via mechanics already in modern file system (eg. symlink). Point two isn't a point but a symptom of a decentralized architecture [yay for the US legal system].

There is much value in separating storage from compute, particular for cloud database deployments. To this end, Alibaba has targeted low latency and high availability with a newly developed ...

OrangeFS – A Storage System for Today’s HPC Environment OrangeFS is a user-friendly, parallel file system designed specifically for today and tomorrow’s high performance compute and storage clusters.

If you have multiple clients writing into a single file, IME solves this by essentially having a distributed synchronized clock across the nodes and IO just flows into the IME system and is sent very ...

Basically, IPFS is a peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed system for storing, accessing and sharing files, websites, applications and data.
