Hi
PVFS2 is a stateless parallel file system designed for high performance I/O. It's strenghts lie in large block I/O transfers (when multiple servers can get involved).
It might not be the best file system for home directory kind of accesses (unpacking a tar file is pretty slow, and executing off of it is hit or miss), but the developers are always making improvements to it.
If you are interested, check out http://www.pvfs.org/pvfs2

Stateless File Systems Posted Dec 6, 2005 21:19 UTC (Tue) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] The idea of anything being `hit or miss' on a non-steganographic filesystem is, er, somehow worrying.
Stateless File Systems Posted Dec 7, 2005 4:17 UTC (Wed) by zblaxell (subscriber, #26385) [Link] I don't know about anyone else, but I expect my steganographic filesystems to have rigidly defined hits and misses.
Stateless File Systems Posted Dec 10, 2005 19:54 UTC (Sat) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] The only one I've found so far (StegFS, long-unmaintained) doesn't do that.
