Well, This sort of thing reminds me of VMS clusters merged with NFS. At first glance , I see the need for redundancy / mirroring . Also, the access time or weight for a given host block. Ability to migrate work load to different system on demand. Does the system implements caching : write behind or read ahead? Also I would like to hear a little bit more on the distributed lock manager and how does it handle failure cases or what happens if the host where the application is running dies. Perhaps, is best if the system address "virtual hosts/block" so if a system goes down requests can continue on a mirroring system. I better stop rambling . It does sound like a "cool" project 8) Regards, Amancio
