We had a POSIX interface early on (via FUSE), but decided to expose a a block storage interface first instead. This is not a "filesystem", it's a storage abstraction, and we've spent more than 6 months on it. Seems like a lot of folks are quickly jumping to conclusions, which is expected from "the internet", but I would have hoped for better from HN.

6 months is overnight in terms of a filesystem, there are literally millions of dollars of work that was done with glusterfs and probably a magnitude less man hours. I understand coreos wants.to innovate but what does torus bring to the table besides negatives and NIH?

Don't worry about it. Some guys just mistake their experience with traditional storage systems as meaningful here.
