Distributed storage blog tag.


One can track this tag for information about my distributed storage development.

So, to recall how to write in C (I did not do that for about a week or two), I'm writing initial implemnetation for multiple device stack (the same that supports software raid and dm-crypt). It will not be the latest revision obviously, will not support interesting configuration techniques I think about, will not have special failure-aware encoding (like Reed-Solomon or WEAVER), but will only be used to create a storage on top of two devices - local block device and remote one.
Initial goal is not even to achive sequential reading speed equal to sum of speeds of both devices - only to make it really distributed and recall what block layer is. Last time I worked with it about 4-5 years ago, when created asynchronous block device to test acrypto async crypto layer.
Getting into account that I ported dm-crypt to acrypto fairly quickly, that should be that complex task. Expect some news tomorrow.
Switched off...
