Comment on TernFS – An exabyte scale, multi-region distributed filesystemparent

Comments

if you're storing the blocks in one place, its not decentralised.

The metadata would be crucial for performance, and given that I assume you'll want a full chain of history for every file, your metadata table will get progressively bigger every time you do any kind of metadata operation.

Plus you can only have one person write metadata at one time, so you're gonna get huge top of line blocking.
