The focus here seems to be on very high scale, not just capacity but also number of files and scan performance which would be important for an archival store and which are often pain points for other distributed filesystems. Similarly, ensuring data integrity is a high priority for such a system. I certainly wouldn't compare it to a single-metadata-server pseudo-distributed filesystem that doesn't even honor O_SYNC writes.

For more details on requirements as we designed the filesystem and why current filesystems didn't meet our needs, see this blog post: http://www.versity.com/blog/versity-open-sources-scoutfs http://www.versity.com/blog/versity-open-sources-scoutfs
