The hash function is known by all processors, so no one processor must be up to access the file. Any portion of the file whose disknode is available may be accessed. Shadow nodes are used to take over for nodes that go down, saving the info for later use by the proper node. Intended to easily parallelize read/write accesses and global file operations, and to increase file availability.} }
