Description

Our old roadmap.txt had "Checker/Repairer? steps 1.5/2/3" as "maintain file manifest, centralized chekcer/repair-agent, nodes also check their own files".

The idea was that, as a first step, nodes should simply keep track of their "manifest": a list of all the files that they wanted to keep alive. Files that cease to be on this list should be deleted (see #449).

Once we have this list, we can use it to decide what files we want to check/verify/repair. Passing the list to a centralized agent would offload the work from the clients (also allowing them to go offline for extended periods of time). This interacts strongly with #119 (lease expiration / deletion / filechecking / quotas).

We could have a central agent check up on files, or have the client node do it, or both.

  • Milestone 1.3.0 deleted

We have a checker/verifier/repairer in trunk, but not an agent. We don't need an agent for 1.3.0.
