Hi Rick!

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?
