[$] A distributed filesystem for archival systems: ngnfs

Description:
A new filesystem was the topic of a session led by Zach Brown at
the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit
(LSFMM+BPF).  The ngnfs filesystem is not a "next generation" NFS, as might 
be guessed from the
name; Brown said that he did not think about that linkage
(" I hate naming so much ") until it was pointed out to him by Chuck
Lever in an email.  It is, instead, a filesystem for enormous data sets
that are mostly stored offline.
