Message-ID: <999959953.410241@firewall.isd.dp.ua> (raw)
Is there any development of such FSes for Plan9 ? Recently I
familiarized myself with Berkeley's past and present projects on this topic
(xFS, River, OceanStore). They state that single-host fileservers do not scale
well with the growth of their clients, and propose serverless scheme where
each participating host can serve requests for a big common filesystem stored
across disks of all hosts (and any host can also be a client by mounting that
SL-NFS on itself).
I think this approach should be very useful in cases when Terminal or
CPU servers have considerable hard disks inside them, e.g. when thay are usual
Intel-PCs. So, I am interested to know any related information, and thank you
in advance for your replies.
