pohmelfs: call for inclusion
I’m please to announce new and completely rewritten distributed filesystem – POHMELFS
It went a long way from parallel NFS design which lived in drivers/staging/pohmelfs for years effectively without usage case – that design was dead.

Let’s see, how this will end up

Congratulations!
It is a long way to push it into kernel, so far only Greg answered about how patchset should look like :)
But anyway, thanks a lot!
I have to say: Thank you for your work, this is great. Getting it into the “real” kernel is the next step for world domination. Please keep it up.
so I applied this to a 3.0 kernel and built it however on insmod I get:
pohmelfs: no symbol version for module_layout
what did I do wrong?

Building just as
$ make -C /lib/modules/3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64/build M=`pwd` modules
# insmod ./pohmelfs.ko
will this build against 3.0.0 also?
Hard to tell, I believe it should maybe with trivial changes (like different argument types for some functions)
Congratulations on your new release. Now the whole stack all the way from the storage to POSIX filesystem is up and running.
I had looked at this project, in 2009 I think when it was first introduced into the kernel and thought it was really interresting.
There was a long ‘delay’. Today I read all your blogposts on all the work you did to get this far and I now understand why there was so much time between releases.
It is so cool how everything is running in production across different datacenters and all that at Yandex.
I hope to have a project soon that can make good use of it. :-)
Linus mentioned he wants other people to look at it before it gets included. I hope he will add it soon.
Have a nice day,
Lennie.
Thanks a lot, but as usual this takes really long :)
