distributed filesystem name

[Ben Jolitz]

DrachFS. Drache=Dragon in deutsch. Dragon -> Dragonfly, eh?

Dragonfly larvae are called "nymphs", which can be
pronounced the same way but written as "NymphFS" or
shortened to "NymFS" if necessary.  Seems somehow fitting
that eggs are produced in quantities of hundreds or
thousands.
Plus, lots of fun nymph biology terms can be used to
describe different processes as they relate to the
filesystem.  As nymphs grow, they molt (shed their skin).
Molting can maybe describe the process of "Physical space
recovery" or "Performance reorganization".  Plenty of other
verbs like hatch, fossilize, and metamorphose from which to
choose.
 

Hmm. Interesting.

Nymphs apparently often feed on mosquito larvae, but
unfortunately not on penguins.

Nice thing is dragons eat anything.
On the side, why can't  Fred eat a penguin? We could always put him 
through an enlarge ray.
