CONFIG_POHMELFS

 POHMELFS stands for Parallel Optimized Host Message 
 Exchange Layered File System.
 
 POHMELFS is a kernel client for the developed distributed 
 parallel internet filesystem. As it exists today, it is a 
 high-performance parallel network filesystem with ability 
 to balance reading from multiple hosts and simultaneously 
 write data to multiple hosts.
 
 Main design goal of this filesystem is to implement very 
 fast and scalable network filesystem with local writeback
 cache of data and metadata, which greatly speeds up every 
 IO operation compared to traditional writethrough based
  network filesystems.
 
 Read balancing and writing to multiple hosts features can 
 be used to improve parallel multithreaded read-mostly data
 processing workload and organize fault-tolerant systems. 
 POHMELFS as a network client does not support data 
 synchrnonization between the nodes, so this task should be 
 implemented in servers. POHMELFS and multiple-server-write 
 can be used as backup solution for the physically 
 distributed network servers.

CONFIG_DST
 DST is a network block device storage, which can be used to organize 
 exported storages on the remote nodes into the local block device.
 It's an analog of NBD, AoE and iSCSI network block device implementation
