Block addresses are generalized 64-bit pointers that reference (node, drive, blknum) tuples. The native block size is 8192 bytes; inodes are 512 bytes on disk (for disks with 512 byte sectors) or 8KB (for disks with 4KB sectors). One distinctive characteristic of OneFS is that metadata is spread throughout the nodes in a homogeneous fashion.
Some researchers have made a functional and experimental analysis of several distributed file systems including HDFS, Ceph, Gluster, Lustre and old (1.6.x) version of MooseFS, although this document is from 2013 and a lot of information are outdated (e.g. MooseFS had no HA for Metadata Server at that time).
POSIX mandates 512-byte default block sizes for the df and du utilities, reflecting the typical size of blocks on disks. When Richard Stallman and the GNU team were implementing POSIX for the GNU operating system , they objected to this on the grounds that most people think in terms of 1024 byte (or 1 KiB ) blocks.
A fault-tolerant, parallel POSIX file system, with block (VMs) and object (S3) interfaces, and advanced enterprise features like multi-tenancy, strong authentication, encryption. Split-brain safe fault-tolerance is achieved through Paxos -based leader election and erasure coding .

df (abbreviation for disk free) is a standard Unix command used to display the amount of available disk space for file systems on which the invoking user has appropriate read access. df is typically implemented using the statfs or statvfs system calls .
Utilities listed in POSIX.1-2017 This is a list of POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) commands as specified by IEEE Std 1003.1-2024, which is part of the Single UNIX Specification (SUS). These commands can be found on Unix operating systems and most Unix-like operating systems.
