Thanks Mike, I work on this and will until feel it is completed. Distributed filesystem is a logical continuation of the whoe idea of storing data on the several remote nodes - DST and FS must exist together for the maximum performance, but that does not mean that block layer itself should be abandoned. As you probably noticed from my mail to Jeff, distributed storage was originally part of the overall filesystem design. -- Evgeniy Polyakov - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
