in order to be able to login to a remote ssh server without a password you need:
1) generate your key (do not enter any password)
# ssh-keygen
2) copy key to remote host

3) after entering the correct password once, you should be able to ssh to user@remote-host without
a password.

In this example i will try to install cloudstore ( kosmosfs or simply kfs ) on a fedora 10 linux operating system
and will use the following folder structure:
/CLOUD
/storage  - folder to mount kfs storage later
/source/kfs-0.3/ – source code

user@computer:$ [root@localhost ~]# mkdir /CLOUD/source;cd /CLOUD/source[root@localhost source]# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/kosmosfs/kosmosfs/kfs-0.3/kfs-0.3.tar.gz[root@localhost source]# tar zxvf kfs-0.3.tar.gz[root@localhost source]# cd kfs-0.3[root@localhost kfs-0.3]# mkdir build;cd [...]

i have noticed that fedora core 11 already comes with log4cpp rpm, if you need to install log4cpp on a FC9 or FC10  you will need to compile it yourself ( i could not find any preconfigured version )

MooseFS will split your files into chunk [...]

From their website:

HIGH PERFORMANCE SCALABLE STORAGE
Web-scale applications require a scalable storage infrastructure to process vast amounts of data. CloudStore (formerly, Kosmos filesystem) is an open-source high performance distributed filesystem designed to meet such an infrastructure need:
CloudStore is implemented in C++ using standard system components such as STL, boost libraries, aio, log4cpp.
CloudStore is integrated with Hadoop and Hypertable. [...]

while trying to compile KosmosFS (kfs) version 0.3 i got into this error:

/usr/include/xfs/linux.h:20:23: error: uuid/uuid.h: No such file or directory

the error disappeared after installing e2fsprogs-devel package, also make sure you also have installed xfsprogs and xfsprogs-devel
