Now after Bittorrent Sync can be considered compromised, I came back investigating distributed storage systems again. Some new things can be concluded:

• Somewhere at TU Graz someone is working with high amounts of distributed data. @species, maybe you even want to contact him? Even also to Markus Lanthaler once time is ready?

  • LizardFS, MooseFS fork
  • RozoFS from Nantes, which relies on the Mojette Transform algorithm.

• This great shootout on Ceph, Sheepdog and GlusterFS is funny to read. If you want object storage, why not use Swift?

  • Setting up Ceph or Sheepdog
  • How Sheepdog provides storage for KVM
  • Detailed Sheepdog Benchmark and Setup

Anything else to mention? Yes. I may build on Ceph or RozoFS.
