Basically, our association is trying to move away from file systems, for scalability and availability purposes. There's a similarity between RDBMS (say SQL) and filesystems, in the sense that they distribute like crap. Main reason being that they have too strong consistency properties. Although, one can use Garage as a file system, notably using WebDAV. It's a beta feature, called Bagage: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/bagage I'll let my knowledgeable fellows answer, if you'd like to hear about differences between seaweedfs and Garage in more detail :)

seaweedfs is an object storage at the core. In my (personal) case, I disqualify cause of missing erasure coding.

Garage says isn't a goal either.

https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/design/goals/

"Storage optimizations: erasure coding or any other coding technique both increase the difficulty of placing data and synchronizing; we limit ourselves to duplication."

Maybe they added it since you looked or did something not match your needs? https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs/wiki/Erasure-coding-f...

I disqualify Garage because of missing erasure-coding. I know seaweedfs has it.
