Greetings,
Maurice Bach's 'UNIX Architecture' reads that there were several
problems in unix networking/clustering/distributed processing that
were solved within unix bounds with more or less success, although
not so naturally as under Plan9.
But in Plan9 I see only 'cpu' command to attach new process to
different cpu-server, and this seems to be done by user-level stuff
and additional services, not by OS kernel itself.
I think fork-to-remote-host is a great feature to be implemented
under Plan9 just at its kernel architecture level. Or may be I am
missing something ?
Please explain me about true design intents of the Plan9, to give
right direction to my thoughts.
Thanks.
