CTERA Networks announces Next3 File System for Linux

CTERA Networks has announced the availability of the Next3 file system for Linux. "Snapshots record the state of the file system at any given moment, creating a point-in-time copy of the data that can be used to restore previous versions of files. Versioning capabilities have been a key goal for storage systems, but until now no solution for Linux offered file-system level snapshots that made efficient use of disk space, stored snapshots reliably and maintained low performance overhead. For the first time, Next3 brings a free, GPL licensed file-system level snapshots solution for Linux users." LWN looked at Next3 back in May.
