shaver

We had a nice breakfast this morning, after a restful sleep last night, and then Tyla took off to see various pretty parts of Boston. I opted to see some decidedly less pretty parts of the Lustre code, and continue on our quest to rationalize export data management. (”Export” is our term for all the state a server component — storage, metadata and lock management — keeps for each client. Right now, each server piece keeps its own list or lists of this data, and we want to put it all into one place.) Every time I touch something to fix it, I have a combinatorial architectural explosion and have to mutate a bunch of other things. Tortoises, all the way down.

Soon, though, I get to dress up all pretty and party with some friends here in Boston (which is, really, quite lovely this time of year). That will be more fun, and less confusing.
