2. Block storage
================
+
+In our system, Storm (for *storage module*), all data is stored
+in *blocks*, byte sequences identified by a
+cryptographic hash. Blocks often have a similar granularity
+as files, but they are immutable, since any change to the
+byte sequence would change the hash (and thus create a different block).
Hmm, perhaps we should make a reference to CFS/PAST in this specific part: If
these system somehow differs, we should explain how. If not, tell that 'they are
very similar etc'.
? Or is Storm more like decentralized index, which has 'pointer references' to
blocks: find computer which points to another computer, which hosts the actual
block ( first block would be a dummy block, e.g. record of hash and ip
address.) ?
