    We run GHI over Storage Scale for user file systems and have to cope with all sorts of path names. GHI makes use of the policy engine for data movement (migration, purging). We think that any path name working in (core) Storage Scale has also to b...

    Enable remote Clusters to connect at all local interfaces

    For security or performance reasons the network is divided into different zones, either to isolate different tenants or to separate different types of network traffic. To enable multitenancy, a Storage Scale Cluster should be able to serve multipl...

    Provide helper to determine metadata size
