Thank you for SeaweedFS. Curious if you have benchmarked SeaweedFS against LeoFS (https://github.com/leo-project) It seems like both have similar motivation.

Many systems look similar. Ceph, MooseFS, etc. The difference are in details. Not possible to benchmark everything. And each use case has different access pattern, CPU, memory, network. It's better to benchmark with your own use cases.

LeoFS last release is about 3 years ago (v1.4.3 February 20th, 2019), and seems more complicated. SeaweedFS is still growing and has being released on a weekly basis. Just ask if you need any new feature.

Also, think about how to manage. For example, grow capacity. For SeaweedFS, you just need to add one server and point it to the master. That is it!

Great. Thank you for the response. Curious if you recommend any particular filesystem for running SeaweedFS.

No preference actually.

SeaweedFS is portable, the data file and the metadata.

Thank you for answering my questions.
