Are there any distributed transactional filesystem implementations that I can actually use?

Question

I've been searching for distributed transactional filesystems so I don't have to make my own subpar implementation.

I've only come across two:

• Warp Transactional Filesystem - The website is no longer up, and the source code is not production-ready unless I get a license for the production code
• Wave Transactional Filesystem - I cannot find any source code for this

Are there any popular open source distributed transactional filesystems? I would have expected at least one to be in existence somewhere.

Answer 1

Since I have no idea what to expect from a transactional file-system I turned to Wikipedia and immediately found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactional_NTFS - which although possibly still supported also sounds like another evolutionary dead-end.

The general consensus seems to be that specific requirements will need to be addressed by the application logic and/or by using a database (which are generally designed for managing transactions really well) and won't be magically solved by a file-system, not even by feature rich ZFS.
