Magma is an experimental network filesystem for
Linux and BSD kernels based on a distributed hash
table. Each object stored is called a "flare" and
is managed using its SHA1 hash key. Flares can be
moved as opaque objects from node to node and
requests can be proxied through the network
transparently to the user. Its goals are
scalability, redundancy, data availability,
compliance with POSIX, and basic encryption on the
user side.
