[tahoe-dev] Largest Scale of Tahoe grids

[Lars Liedtke, IAI, KIT Campus Nord]

Hey, 

I wrote a mail to Zooko and he replied that i should post this here, so I just 
copied the mail to Zooko into this mail. 

I would be very happy, if someone could help me with this.

Regards
Lars

>Hey,

 >my name is Lars and I'm Student at the Coorperate State University of
 >Karlsruhe (http://www.dhbw-karlsruhe.de), Germany. During my practical 
phases

there
> I have been given the Task of comparing distributed file systems.

most

> might be person-related and in Germany we have privacy-laws which are
> protecting person-related data. Other DFS don't really care about privacy
> themselves or leave it to the OS beyond.

> I read your and Brian Warner's Paper about Tahoe from 2008 and there you say
> you set up Tahoe at the allmydata.com environment. The Size of data is 9.5TB
> there. This was good for 2008 but do you have any experience how much is
> possible with Tahoe itself or how much you have running now at maximum? Or
> where it becomes ineffective?

> The Data that shall be saved in the project I work for can have several 
Peta-
> Bytes or more, because they're scientific measuring data. Do you have some
> statistics or something with which I can make a statement about "wil do" or
> "will not do"?

> The environment in which this will be set is a scentific grid located in one
> building.

> I would be very happy if you had any answers to my questions, or better a
> paper about this.

> Thank you in advance
