Gfarm分布式文件系統(tǒng)

Gfarm 是一個分布式的文件系統(tǒng)，主要用于大規(guī)模的集群計算。It's implemented in userland, and can be mounted by FUSE. It utilizes locality of a file to access a data node, and supports Globus GSI for Wide Area Network. Users can control file replica location on Gfarm. Gfarm can be used as an alternative storage system to HDFS for Hadoop, Samba, and GridFTP.
