  comment = {See corbett:jvesta. Design of a file system for a message-passing
  MIMD multiprocessor to be used for scientific computing. Separate I/O nodes
  from compute nodes; I/O nodes and disks are viewed as a data-staging area.
  File system runs on I/O nodes only. Files declustered by record, among
  physical partitions, each residing on a separate disk, and each separately
  growable. Then the user maps logical partitions, one per process, on the file
  at open time. These are designed to be two-dimensional, so that mapping
  arrays of various strides and contiguities, with records as the basic unit,
  is easy. Various consistency and atomicity requirements. File checkpointing,
  really snapshotting, is built in. No client caching, no redundancy for
  reliability. See also corbett:vesta2, corbett:vesta3, feitelson:pario.}
