There is no reason to fence any connection that hasn't sent a valid greeting, since they haven't progressed far enough for it to make sense. We remove the connection from the list of accepted clients, which then removes the need for fencing, and the server won't need to restart. Adds a test script that makes sure that we didn't actually restart the server while this was happening. Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke.kok@versity.com>
Introduction
scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.
The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.
Highlights of the design and implementation include:
- Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
- Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
- Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
- Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
- 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
- Open GPLv2 implementation
