I gave a talk where I referred to a "ring" boot mechanism for
Warewulf using "Dolly".

Thinking back now, I don't remember you being at that talk, so you
are probably thinking of something else. ;)

Hi folks,
During an HPC talk some years ago, I recall someone mentioned a
tool which can copy large datasets across a cluster using a ring
topology. Perhaps someone here knows of this tool?
More to the point, we are pushing around datasets that are about
1Gbyte. The datasets are pushed out to dozens of nodes all at once
and we foresee saturating the I/O system on our cluster as we
grow. We are limited to using just the available disks and are
looking for a reasonable solution that can support this kind of
simultaneous access. Currently we push the data out using rsync,
but if I don't get any better ideas I may simply move to a pull
system where the data is fetched by HTTP. I can get better
throttling that way, at least.
