The Randomly Random File System (RRFS) expose 1 YottaByte (1 Tera-Terabyte) of randomly adressable random data. It's data is accessed like any files and include seeking. Supporting 80 bit "adresses" using "63 bit" file offsets posed some challenges, test the limits of my computer and let me see what macos look like when it crashes.

RRFS is available under a BSD Licence. These are my notes telling the story of how this file system works, step by step, from mount to dismount.

This is an amateur project, plenty of gritty details on the project's page https://github.com/sysaulab/Ra...

We are looking to buy a new ERM software package and my boss, who is looking forward to buy the thing, knows nothing about computers or software. I will be providing basic IT training to the senior management and I am looking for your input on the scope and content of said training. I am thinking: basic components and architecture -> networking -> software -> proprietary vs open source. What do you think?
