[gentoo-user] FhGFS or BeeGFS on Gentoo?

[James]

Howdy,


Any "brave souls" put FhGFS on a gentoo system? [1]  It's a distributed File
System and some run it on top of ZFS or EXT4 or BTRFS, with
very positive results. It is in the process of going "open source"
from what I've read about.  It is suppose to be wonderful when
compared to Gluster, HDFS or any other "distributed" file system,
as I've heard from several sources.

There's even a guide on skipping the partitioning of the devices
and putting the file system directly "on the device"; even SSD
and such. [2] 


curiously,
James

These look interesting, will have a look at these later.

But, isn't Fraunhover the organisation that caused alot of licensing issues 
with getting MP3 support in OSS projects?
How is their licensing with regards to FHGFS?
