From Zach's post to fs-devel:
I think the video recording of the talk does a decent job of giving an overview of the design, and it's a hoot, but I can give a quick summary: - the user space server exports a private BTRFS volume - the network protocol operates on ranges of BTRFS disk items - the kernel client provides posix semantics by operating on items - the server can grant and revoke client caches of data and metadata There's a lot of complexity hiding in those four lines but those are the critical properties to grasp :).Video of the LCA CRFS talk:
