[22:34] <mahnaz> hi
[22:35] <mahnaz> I nees some info about file server and file system functionality in
[22:35] <mahnaz> a ubuntu based cloud
[22:35] <mahnaz> can any one help me with this?
[22:53] <kim0> mahnaz: try asking :)
[22:55] <mahnaz> kim() : tthanks for answering
[22:55] <mahnaz> did you read my question?
[22:55] <flaccid> mahnaz: the answer is yes
[22:56] <mahnaz> so lucky I am:)
[22:56] <kim0> lol
[22:56] <flaccid> i guess so
[22:57] <mahnaz> I want to know
[22:57] <mahnaz> what file systems  are
[22:57] <mahnaz> used in cloud?
[22:57] <kim0> same filesystems that are used on earth
[22:57] <mahnaz> :D
[22:57] <mahnaz> lol
[22:58]  * kim0 needs to reboot
[22:58] <flaccid> yes
[22:58] <mahnaz> for example?
[22:58] <flaccid> fat16
[22:58] <mahnaz> which are best for a ubuntu cloud
[22:58] <flaccid> any that ubuntu supports
[22:59] <mahnaz> aha
[22:59] <mahnaz> :)
[22:59] <mahnaz> and what about
[22:59] <mahnaz> file server? do we have a file server
[22:59] <mahnaz> in a cloud?
[22:59] <mahnaz> ( I am buliding a cloud using eucalyptus)
[23:00] <flaccid> cloud or not cloud, its still ubuntu so you can do the same thing you would on any ubuntu box
[23:01] <mahnaz> to be honset
[23:01] <mahnaz> for my final project
[23:01] <mahnaz> I am working on
[23:01] <mahnaz> file server and file system in clouds
[23:01] <mahnaz> but till now
[23:02] <mahnaz> I have no idea
[23:02] <flaccid> i can see that :)
[23:02] <mahnaz> what is fiffrerent between
[23:02] <mahnaz> a cloud uesd file system
[23:02] <mahnaz> and non cloud
[23:02] <flaccid> i've never heard of a 'cloud uesd file system'
[23:02] <mahnaz> flaccid, : how?:D
[23:03] <flaccid> you aint making sense dude
[23:03] <flaccid> a filesystem has no idea if its in the cloud or not.
[23:03] <mahnaz> :)
[23:04] <mahnaz> and what about file serevr?
[23:05] <mahnaz> flaccid, : sory if I am asking so question
[23:05] <flaccid> what about it
[23:05] <mahnaz> but it is subjet my
[23:05] <flaccid> http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[23:06] <mahnaz> master
[23:06] <mahnaz> gave it to me!!
[23:06] <mahnaz> do we have a file serevr in a cloud?
[23:06] <flaccid> we?
[23:07] <kim0> earth
[23:07] <flaccid> file servers also have no idea if they are in the cloud or not
[23:07] <mahnaz> my bad :(
[23:07] <kim0> maybe you mean, CDNs, or S3 like object stores ?
[23:08] <flaccid> could be anything when you are vague
[23:08] <kim0> read up some more on wikipedia, you'll have a better understanding of the basics
[23:09] <mahnaz> kim : yes , and I am gonig to use
[23:09] <mahnaz> s3fs
[23:09] <mahnaz>  for working with sc
[23:10] <kim0> cool, so your teacher probably means S3 indeed
[23:10] <kim0> wikipedia it
[23:10] <kim0> and it's not a filesystem btw .. it's called an object store
[23:10] <flaccid> maybe confirm exactly wha tyou should be researching first heh
[23:11] <mahnaz> Kim: but the subject is " file server and file systems in cloud "
[23:11] <mahnaz> I think he him self does not konw
[23:11] <kim0> maybe the teacher has no idea too :) go talk to him
[23:12] <flaccid> mahnaz: then you can answer that with one line, "its the same"
[23:12] <mahnaz> what shoul  I do :(
[23:12] <kim0> haha :)
[23:12] <flaccid> teachers are commonly uneducated
[23:13] <mahnaz> but it is my misadventure
[23:13] <mahnaz> :(
[23:13] <flaccid> just tell your teacher its the same and that he should learn cloud computing before trying to teach it
[23:14] <mahnaz> uhum
[23:15] <mahnaz> I think I should do same:D
[23:15] <mahnaz> any way thanks alot for your help
[23:15] <flaccid> cloud is the most abused buzz word. people who don't know what it is always misuse the term
[23:15] <flaccid> np
[23:16] <mahnaz> and sory for my simmlpe question
[23:16] <mahnaz> s
[23:16] <mahnaz> :(
