[Sans] Anybody interested in a talk about moosefs / lizardfs?

[Steven Armstrong]

Hi all

Long time no see, hope you are all fine ;-)

One of the developers of lizardfs (formerly moosefs) contacted me. Peter 
aNeutrino may be in Zurich in October.

If anybody else is interested I could ask him to give a talk.

moosefs is a rather interesting beast, think of it as a glusterfs 
alternative that has usable documentation and actually works.

We looked at it as a possible solution for cluster scratch space, 
storage of virtual machine images and archival of project data. The 
tests were promising, but as my boss is retiring in January 2014 it did 
not make sense to deploy it. Pity, wish we would have known this 6 years 
ago ;-)

Anyway, maybe of interest for some of you - I guess you have similar 
problems as we did.

Best wishes,
Steven

BTW: I am looking for a new job as of February 2014. If you hear/know 
something I'd appreciate a ping.
