- The CernVM File System is a client-server file system developed to
- deliver software stacks onto virtual machines in a fast, scalable,
- and reliable way. CernVM-FS is implemented as a FUSE module. It
- makes a specially prepared directory tree stored on a web server
- look like a local read-only file system on the virtual
- machine. CernVM-FS uses outgoing HTTP connections only, thereby it
- avoids most of the firewall issues of other network file systems. It
- transfers data file by file on demand, verifying the content by
- SHA-1 keys.
+ CernVM File System (CernVM-FS) is a network file system based on
+ HTTP and optimized to deliver software in a fast, scalable, and
+ reliable way. Files and file metadata are aggressively cached and
+ downloaded on demand. Thereby the CernVM-FS decouples the life cycle
+ management of the application software releases from the operating
+ system.
