So far it seems that there are no ready-made 9P-based solutions available for what you have in mind. At least I don't know of any.

If the filesyste= m grid work as I've understood, there would be only ONE filesystem.
So, saving session state in the grid would make it available to= all web servers connected to the filesystem, allowing load balance a= nd high availability for the web servers (when one crash, the user se= ssions it was handling would be available to the others web server).<= /blockquote>

So far it seems that there are no rea= dy-made 9P-based solutions available for what
you have in m= ind. At least I don't know of any.

Thanks,
Roman.
