Could you build this?
No ROOF is a low-level systems project implementing a distributed filesystem over fabric-attached memory (CXL/RDMA) with cross-node identity and hardware-level memory management.
What it would actually take: This requires systems programming in Rust or C/C++, writing kernel modules or user-space drivers (using RDMA verbs, CXL.mem interfaces, and SPDK), and designing distributed cache coherency protocols. Achieving zero-copy memory fabric synchronization with cross-node access control requires elite systems engineering and access to specialized fabric-attached memory hardware.
