# PrinterFS

Distributed filesystem.

## Goals

* Spread non-replicated files over many, small-disk, cheap boxes

* Files should be owned by a single node, so contention should be **less** of a

  problem

* Simple to configure, setup, keep running. As few bells and whistles as

  possible.

* DHT

* As safe as possible, make trade-offs for safety over latency when the question

  arises.

## Nice-to-haves

* In-memory LRU cache for files and metadata on every node. Should be configurable.

* Simple rehashing/auto-discovery. If a new node comes online, make sure files

  that are now in it's keyspace are moved to it from the nodes previous.

* Compression for over-the-wire transfers (LZ4 is pretty easy)

# Usage

## Installation

Make sure you have your kernel headers available. On Ubuntu, you can do:

```

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

```

Then you should just be able to:

```

make

sudo insmod PrinterFS.ko

```

## Uninstallation

```

sudo rmmod PrinterFS

```
