The local-force-unmount fenced fencing script only works when all the mounts are on the local host and it uses force unmount. It is only used in our specific local testing scripts. Packaging it as an example lead people to believe that it could be used to cobble together a multi-host testing network, however temporary. Move it from being in utils and packged to being private to our tests so that it doesn't present an attractive nuisance. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zab@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
