You always have 3 copies of the chunk. The filesystem (at > metaserver) seems like one big file server. (+python bindings) OK. Useful info. At the moment Allmydata-Tahoe is looking pretty promising. We've started a basic grid with info here: <http://grid.okfn.org/> Next step is to create a nice filesystem like web frontend on top of the basic web-api they provide. We also need to grow the grid so if anyone's got a few gigs of spare server capacity it would be great if they could contribute a node (using the debian/ubuntu packages installing tahoe turns out to be pretty painless ...).
