Abstract :
This paper presents a distributed file-system for the present day medium-sized network. Existing servers and workstations pool their unused storage resources to form a communal share. Erasure codes provide fault tolerance and eliminate the need for replication. Middleware libraries facilitate object routing on an overlay network.
