Musings

I like to attend the SNIA Storage Developer Conference, looking for ideas and authors for the February issue of ;login:. Although the main focus of SDC continues to be Microsoft SMB, I get to learn about other network/distributed file systems while there. Not that SMB 3 is not amazing. If you are still using older versions of Microsoft’s networked file system, you are living in the dark ages. But I was after other prey, topics of greater interest to file system and storage researchers.
