Is there such a thing ? I couldn't find anything. I am thinking of something like IBM's gpfs or one of the projects like gfs (http://www.globalfilesystem.org) or pvfs (http://www.parl.clemson.edu/pvfs/). gfs seemed to have FreeBSD support. Does anybody know anything about it ? I.e. I have a cluster and want to spread a filesystem and especially the (large) files in that filesystem over all nodes. Coda seems to keep single files on a single machine (besides the filesize limitations). Thanks !

I think the other fs share this same problem. Having a single file being distributed is a bad idea, anyway. -- Daniel C.

Here is the LVM white paper http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux/whitepapers/lvm/white_paper2.htm referred to below. Neither the note below nor the IBM Web site seem to declare what sort of license it will be released under, but the expressed hope "that the release of this technology will lead to a world class logical volume management system for Linux" would fit logically with the GPL, wouldn't it? ;) (More) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
