Quoting [Michel Drescher] (Jun 12 2006):
Hi Andre,
The GFS group (naturally) did some analysis on file systems, directory navigation etc, and on related issues in Grids. It might be useful input, and prevent you from re-doing that job.
You might want to browse their meeting material section on forge (https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/listDocuments/projects.gfs-wg/docma...) for some overview material.

Uhm, nop, is from new GF. I should have changed https to http, to remove the need for logging in - sorry. If the problem persists, could you send me the error you see (not on the list)? Thanks!
Good point.
OTOH, it's not only GFS that is or should be involved. In fact, I see the following group's involvement: - GFS - WS-Naming - JSDL - DMI - HPC - GSM
I would like to know if there are enough resources available to get all these groups together in an inter-group F2F to wrangle this issue?
The file system navigation problem, mounting semantics, and URL translation problems are indeed spread all over the place, and its difficult to keep track of the many approaches floating around. A dissmination session for the topic at next GGF might be a simple (and feasable) starting point, to get an idea on who is working (and solving) what. I guess that for a F2F we would need a clearer agenda, and well defined (set of) problem(s) to work on. Cheers, Andre.
Cheers, Michel
