Key features: linear file model, scatter-gather read and write calls (list of strided segments), asynch versions of all calls, extensive hint system. Naming structure is unspecified; no directories specified. Permissions left out. Some control over client caching and over disk layout. Each file has a (small) 'label', which is just a little space for application-controlled meta data. Optional extensions: collective read and write calls, fast copy.} }
