Moving this discussion to the dev list. As far as I know, IGFS stores data in blocks, so one file can be distributed across nodes. So I don't see how each node can persist locally. In my understanding it should be designated shared directory where all files are persisted. This is actually analogous to how our persistence store works for regular cache data.

Paolo Di Tommaso wrote > Could it be used to save the data over a NFS mount ? LocalFileSystem runs over OS file system with "/" being the roott of the file system, so if an NFS path is mounted , say, in /mnt/nfs/, the files written under there will be shared. We may think about some kind of "chroot" there to isolate the Ignite file system from other things. -- View this message in context: http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/IGFS-backed-by-persistence-on-physical-filesystem-tp1882p1991.html Sent from the Apache Ignite Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
