Hi gang, On Wednesday Ric and I will be leading a discussion of ngnfs. It's a ditributed file system build around a coherent distributed block store. The intent is very much to engage earlier in the development cycle rather than later, so any and all topics are welcome! I talked about a piece of it recently at FOSDEM: https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5471-ngnfs-a-distributed-file-system-using-block-granular-consistency/ And we're currently focusing on standing up the userspace pieces to validate the design: https://git.infradead.org/?p=users/zab/ngnfs-progs.git https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ngnfs-devel/ Looking forward to seeing everyone, - z
