Hi Oliver, yes, i thought that was the case, but is it intended to support distributed storage? For example, I have 4 storage boxes with 4 TB each, "clustered". Say we keep duplicate copies of all data. When I access , say, hammer://mycluster/storage , i'd expect 'storage' to be 8 TB . > Clustering and SSI is the main goal of DragonFly BSD, > after all. ok, now that you mention SSI it seems it should do what I clumsily try to explain :) I should probably start trailing Draco too ;) cheers, B _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you."
