Dfarm - Disk Farm System

Readme File  |  Software  |  Documentation

Abstract
Disk Farm allows using disk space distributed among nodes of a big computing farm by organizing physical disk partitions into a single name space structure similar to UNIX file system. Disk Farm users access data stored in Disk Farm through a subset of UNIX file system primitive operations such as "create directory", "list files", "get file", "put file", etc.

Disk Farm helps control negative effects of individual node unreliability by allowing the user to create replicas of data files on multiple farm nodes.
