Current projects under development for Orange FS
Access Project
The access control project is working to implement file system security
in a distributed environment by using strong encryption to sign and
verify data structures that encode user and file attributes. See the
wiki page
for more details.
Redundancy Project
The redundancy project provides a system administrator with the tools to
add or remove servers and to move meta data objects from one server to
another. The administrator may take servers offline for backup or
maintenance or add new servers without interfering with normal
processing. The system administrator may also move objects between
servers if he wants to manually load balance the number of objects per
server. See the
wiki page
for more details.
Searchable Metadata Project
This project utilizes the existing Berkeley DB that OrangeFS uses to
manage metadata to allow user-defined attributes to be searched for
locating files. See the
wiki page
for more details.
Distributed Directories Project
The distributed directories project will allow directory entries for a
given directory to be spread across multiple servers. This will allow
very large numbers of files to be efficiently handled in a directory as
multiple tasks may access different parts of a directory in parallel.
See the
wiki page
for more details.
Interfaces Project
This project is developing a complete a robust user interface library
that allows OrangeFS users to bypass the local kernel and achieve the
best performance from their file system. This interface includes
standard Posix-like system call and stdio library functions as well
as extensions that allow use of advanced file system features. See the
wiki page
for more details.
