This doesn't work

Hi Chris,

The architecture described here does not have a "single file namespace".

Each iRODS zone has its own namespace and is its own administrative entity, so there are 3 separate namespaces in this deployment as shown - one for each storage system.

Further (incredibly), metadata does not get transferred when files are copied between zones.

Given these constraints, the usefulness of this architecture seems dubious.
