Announcing public availability of fedfs-utils for Linux RFC 5716 introduces the Federated File System (FedFS, for short). FedFS is an extensible standardized mechanism by which system administrators construct a coherent namespace across multiple file servers using file system referrals. The "fedfs-utils" package is an implementation of the user space components that provide FedFS features on Linux. The package is released under GPL version 2. The current release is 0.6.1. This is a very early alpha release for technology preview. Administrative, programming, and command line interfaces will change as this package evolves, and must not be relied on. See http://oss.oracle.com/projects/fedfs-utils for more information and source code downloads. Two mailman mailing lists are also available: fedfs-utils-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx fedfs-utils-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Future release announcements will occur only on fedfs-utils-announce. -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
