hi list,
is there a distributed filesystem from plan 9 that i could compile under p9p
and use on linux?
the problem at hand: i want a hot spare DHCP server at my LAN; i'm currently
using dnsmasq. to achieve synchronization of leases i need to synchronize at
least one file between two servers. preferably a bunch of files -- both configs
and lease state.
cheers,

Any sufficiently large fragment of human activity contains an ad hoc,
informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow attempt at programming.
Corollary: including programming ;)

It's not from Plan 9, but you could use Doozer, it was designed for
exactly this kind of thing: https://github.com/ha/doozerd . It's
basically Google Chubby for mortals. It's written in Go and it's
zero-config.
The client is a user space app, it doesn't interact with the Linux
VFS, so you need to script the doozer client to copy config files
where your servers require them.

Will srv(4)'ing the appropriate namespace from Plan 9 and
mounting it under p9p (or possibly vice versa, depending)
not work for you?

Christ, what a name. Yeah, I bet Google's got a Chubby
for locks. Many, many locks.
