Dead software project that, in the words of its author, "lived in [the Linux kernel] for years effectively without usage case". Mentioned in Linux Magazine, but that "article" is for a large part of a copy-paste of the project website, so its status as an independent, reliable source is questionable. The only good source I could find is LWN, which described the project in 2008 as "the start of a proof of concept". QVVERTYVS (hm?) 12:15, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I'm an avid linux user, but this is a truly non-notable project. I'm not even sure if I'd give it a passing mention in the article on the Linux Kernel, or on distributed file systems. --Slashme (talk) 17:13, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Elliptics. Article from Linux Magazine doesn't seem to be copy-paste to me. If I am not missing something, together with LWN article (and probably Phoronix piece) these publications allow the subject to pass WP:GNG. Still, this filesystem was never reported to be used, so it probably doesn't deserve its own article. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:39, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the second half summarizes a list of features straight from the POHMELFS website, without verifying whether any of those features are really there. But merging to Elliptics is a good idea. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 21:32, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
