Gfarm 2.5.8 发布，分布式文件系统

Gfarm是一个分布式的文件系统，一般用于大规模集群计算。它在用户级实现，并且可以通过 FUSE安装。 It's implemented in userland, and can be mounted by FUSE. It utilizes locality of a file to access a data node, and supports Globus GSI for Wide Area Network. Users can explicitly control file replica location on Gfarm. Gfarm can be used as an alternative storage system to HDFS for Hadoop, Samba, MPI-IO, and GridFTP. Monitoring via ZABBIX and Ganglia is also supported。

Release Notes: This release adds an automatic replica creation feature (replica_check), an IO statistics monitoring feature (config-gfmd-iostat, config-gfsd-iostat), a ganglia plugin, and improvements to tools to maintain replica location (gfncopy, gfprep, gfpcopy, etc). Stability under high load conditions is improved, as well. gfarm2fs 1.2.9, gfarm samba plugin 1.0.0, and gfarm zabbix plugin 1.1.0 are also released.
