+ The CernVM File System is a client-server file system developed to
+ deliver software stacks onto virtual machines in a fast, scalable,
+ and reliable way. CernVM-FS is implemented as a FUSE module. It
+ makes a specially prepared directory tree stored on a web server
+ look like a local read-only file system on the virtual
+ machine. CernVM-FS uses outgoing HTTP connections only, thereby it
+ avoids most of the firewall issues of other network file systems. It
+ transfers data file by file on demand, verifying the content by
+ SHA-1 keys.
