well... I meant live recording as opposed to redoing the presentation. If
you are interested in this joint-operation contact gatorlug.

>> The main topic for the night will be the Moose File System presented by

>> works and some of the advantages and disadvantages.

>> MooseFS is a fault tolerant, network distributed file system. It spreads
>> data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one
>> resource. For standard file operations MooseFS acts as other Unix-alike
>> file systems:
>>
>> A hierarchical structure (directory tree)
>> Stores POSIX file attributes (permissions, last access and modification
>> times)
>> Supports special files (block and character devices, pipes and sockets)
>> Symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not necessarily on
>> MooseFS) and hard links (different names of files which refer to the
>> same data on MooseFS)
>> Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address and/or
>> password
>>
>> Distinctive features of MooseFS are:
>>
>> High reliability (several copies of the data can be stored across
>> separate computers)
>> Capacity is dynamically expandable by attaching new computers/disks
>> Deleted files are retained for a configurable period of time (a file
>> system level "trash bin")
>> Coherent snapshots of files, even while the file is being written/accessed
>>
>> Location:
>>
>> Mobiquity, Inc
>> 618 SW 4th Ave, Gainesville, FL

>> NB: The meeting will be held in Mobiquity's main office where we met
>> last month. We are much indebted to their generosity for hosting the
>> meeting, and encourage you to learn more about them at mobiquityinc.com
