October 11, 2011 - FhGFS will go Open Source: We see an increasing demand from the user community to learn about the deeper internals of FhGFS, to develop new features and to allow tighter integration with their software.
It will still take some time until we cleared out all the details and are ready to provide the source packages (so don't ask for the source code right now), but the decision was made and is final: FhGFS will go open source. We will start by releasing the client under the GPL during the next months.
October 10, 2011 - Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM): We receive a lot of requests for FhGFS combined with HSM. We are now working together with GRAU DATA to develop a parallel clustered HSM solution based on FhGFS and OpenArchive.
