An Update on MarFS in Production

David Bonnie from LANL presented this talk at the MSST 2017 Mass Storage Conference. MarFS is a Near-POSIX File System using cloud storage for data and many POSIX file systems for metadata. "With MarFS in production at LANL since fall 2016, we have gained new insights, learned lessons, and expanded our future plans. We'll discuss the various hurdles required to deploy such an ambitious system with minimal manpower. Further, we'll delve into the challenges, triumphs, and defeats on the road to a new tier of inexpensive scalable storage."
