This talk goes over the development of a distributed filesystem tailored for OpenBSD. While OpenBSD excels in many areas, its native filesystem support has room for improvement. This talk goes into using the Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) on OpenBSD to provide for a distributed and highly available filesystem.

This talk also includes an introduction to the Raft Consensus Algorithm, which plays a critical role in ensuring data consistency and reliability across distributed systems. The Elixir programming language is used, providing the necessary foundation for the implementation of the distributed FUSE filesystem on OpenBSD.
