Ron Minnich has been trying to shove his more-than-functional clustering implementation into our laps for the last two or three years now. I can hardly blame the guy for feeling distinctly ignored. If we have someone that actually feels "proactive" about clustering, then I suggest they approach Ron solicitously and get something happening. 8) -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
