If I had two machines at home that had SCSI and needed to get them to talk, I'd seriously like to be able to just drag a SCSI cable between them, and poof! Could someone talk a bit about the possiblities of sharing disks this way? Where does kernel caching get in the way? What's this about page swapping protocols? Would that be considered loosely coupled multiprocessing via shared memory? Or just point me to a place to educate myself :-) James James Robinson <URL http://hermes.cybernetics.net/>; wholly endorses: FreeBSD | Zappa | Tull | Albermarle Ale | XFree86 | Seagull acoustic guitars | <URL http://www.freebsd.org/>; Quotes du Jour: "Little man, I give the watch to you." | "Hail Ants"
