In fact, it can be exactly as fast as local FS access for cached files. Unfortunately, InterMezzo seems (very) poorly maintained, and may not play nice with Reiser4. Could a Reiser4 plugin be written to do this? I know this was mentioned before, and it was marked for a later version (5, 6, 7, or something) -- but could some basic functionality be written quickly that would be extensible enough to be able to "upgrade" to this new version? (Think if someone were to add ..meta to reiser3, but not plugins, dancing trees, or anything else.) CODA would work, AFS would work. Lustre or InterMezzo would work if they were available in a stable form for the 2.6 kernel. I just think it'd be faster with reiser4 as the cache. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQPXtQ3gHNmZLgCUhAQJ3ZBAAjZ9QhiETD6ENXc/nzPc1a0zysQxcaRcg q1utQYvuXBl7xkvQEPAh6wYjJXfjfXzqLG+mw6v1dwY1FHHzUVBF7cFw783Xc/0D +WenecCoxaobbrTf+Mbp+RIeNMxtHbKMcNVEc1CHWQbmx+vlrlZ/Hg9fIXTN6ows 6rjkmzeLPmnQ8iArphBNP/OytB0BoesQANrF5psXyvtlgpf7YiVDMI9sdywwA08V lszhRtLhP8kwUM04n+/vDOvhrTMvVz+rF7mbRVNU7LhsZ1vqhFYXj9WmYchG4eGV vOff4zrJKw8FyyBTSphLmvpcs/JCxUDL+ZZYILzH528ZH6suO/uIeta2GLoCeNp4 ims3tBGdFjuthIJpduK3Bd+xW8KHExb8Iexono2bMmFToQu1U9WTNB4u22KK73lO kkSjJBvObU8Az4tBaWHIOyetkZIaoRGtBZwrDtWhQrl++HWZlnTG5NgndOSy38/w LNCwjUwZktWy5cgp+mnaR8cjZL7pCFbE93s7tWWlvb+S3k8ViujoCOxP9TT/BHuz VXKGZDcmmROElri11IrsTbo4m0QmLgYrqNTYWR0p8ACxlOkB9dFxDYz7wAtwP1a0 zfBuou/vsY9unaw2Eg5g5SnBXTEPHZ0vvI1PDYqaau7SW/HOfONuRba2cMrDO9fU tVFXzZETsBI= =9GWr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
