Workspace Storage Scale (formerly known as GPFS)

RELATED IDEAS

Isolate File sets per node, similar to how we could isolate NFS mounts by directories.

As of now, there are 2 workarounds.
Manage ACLs for PBs of storage, which gets increasingly complex to manage.
2. Create multiple small file systems of few terabytes. Creating small files systems just to mount them differently makes it very inefficient to manage disk space. We will need to constantly add/drain disks to move storage from one file system to other. Also this workaround will affect performance since not all the disks are involved in reading/writing.

    For clarification: is the request here to be able to "mount" just a fileset rather than a whole filesystem as a way to manage access at a large scale?
