  comment = {See cabrera:swift2. A brief outline of a design for a
  high-performance storage system, designed for storing and retrieving large
  objects like color video or visualization data at very high speed. They
  distribute data over several ``storage agents'', which are some form of disk
  or RAID. They are all connected by a high-speed network. A ``storage
  manager'' decides where to spread each file, what kind of reliability
  mechanism is used. User provides preallocation info such as size, reliability
  level, data rate requirements, and so forth.}
