Subject: [9fans] Distributed P2P file system with security and version tracking
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 13:18:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3d0bbd780703190418h5be32c29had5ff26ce44deaba@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

My company (KPMG) currently has over 100 000 workers. Most people have
a laptop with a hard disk of dozens of gigabytes. I was thinking, has
anyone thought of a distributed P2P file system, where all users could
offer, say 10 G disk space, so that our network would have a 10  000
Terabyte shared disk? I guess Plan 9 would be a good platform to try
ideas like this. I mean a virtual disk that would look excatly like a
real one, with good redundancy and error recovery, clever caching,
security...
