Zumastor 0.7 (Stable branch) |
|
|
The Zumastor Linux storage project adds enterprise
storage features to Linux, primarily improved
snapshots and remote replication. Point-in-time,
near zero-cost, block level snapshots can be added
to any existing filesystem and performance does
not degrade with multiple snapshots. Remote
replication is achieved by sending minimal block
level deltas between snapshots without having to
traverse the entire filesystem like rsync does.

Changes:
This release adds an experimental "revert to snapshot" feature, an experimental "multilayer replication" feature (e.g. for doing star topology software distribution), and lets downstream replicas retain snapshots (which is of importance when using the system as part of a backup scheme).
