I think this sounds amazing to have a distributed file server natively in FreeBSD, awesome! One question that comes to mind is about the MDS: wouldn=C2=B4t that be a SPOF? Maybe that has already been discussed and explained and I=C2=B4ve jus= t missed it, but would be nice to know. And if it is a SPOF, are there any plans of also mirroring MDS's as well? Perhaps a DS can be MDS to, something like that? /K --=-ll2EqRvoDmqtXbsQwuuy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAABCAAGBQJa3ZbnAAoJEBpo164N2cuRW48H/i2LmHYkVF4eBqSlRyzzB60m lKbWtMYQVVcG9ZGiC+56ydPs/6fh68r+PDsZQw0B78AY4dmKqKJWU64bprwoGucy NxYvIw9FT2CZsVtUO0H4datZYlMKA0xIYTdbvlnWBd1B6zvn+iuBCAKdpxTQoik1 6Unl/coi+s65o3lhkOnKn4r0xS12smGrJ5M+t4DNiLah5u0fwTjyFly1+ATpeBfy Hr0QWsKvPJFIpKcmom3qCU0kb8a6PFv63cbjab+BcmnAEJYBdH8mnlD0UkfligeS PDcLkmP/b2fRud5FLQxpkiYdXisael5CS03uo4cEQ46Mus/56rtOyaeq4YBkXRU= =84Yq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ll2EqRvoDmqtXbsQwuuy--
