The StoRM Project
StoRM (STOrage Resource Manager) is a:
- light
- scalable
- flexible
- high-performance
- file system independent
storage manager service (SRM) for generic disk based storage system, compliant with the standard SRM interface version 2.2. StoRM provides data management capabilities in a Grid environment to share, access and transfer data among heterogeneous and geographically distributed data centres.In particular, StoRM works on each POSIX filesystems (ext3, ext4, xfs, basically on everything than can be mounted on a Linux machine) but it also brings in Grid the advantages of high performance storage systems based on cluster file system ( such as GPFS from IBM or Lustre from Sun Microsystems ) supporting direct access (native POSIX I/O call) to shared files and directories, as well as other standard Grid access protocols. StoRM is adopted in the context of WLCG computational Grid framework.

- 29/03/2011 !!UPGRADE NEEDED!! FTS v2.2.5 is going to be released. It includes a fix on the interpretation of RemainingTotalTime. FTS v2.2.5 will not be able to work with the StoRM versions prior to 1.5.3: if FTS receives RemainingTotalTime equals to zero (indeed StoRM versions<1.53 send zero value if it is not set), FTS will handle the StoRM response as in timeout and it will abort the transfer immediately. Upgrade your StoRM instances to the last available versions: v1.5.6 in SL4 and 1.6.2 in SL5.
